The Edmonton Elks have hired Chris Morris as their new team president. “Chris was a winner and a leader during his time as an Eskimo,” said team owner Larry Thompson in a statement. “As a teacher, principal, and most recently coach of the Golden Bears, Chris has strived for excellence and commanded respect.” “His connection to our past, leadership attributes, and understanding of what it takes to win made him the right choice to lead us into 2025 and beyond.” The 56-year-old native of Scarborough, Ont. played 237 regular season games along Edmonton’s offensive line after being selected with the eighth overall pick in the 1992 CFL Draft out of the University of Toronto. He won three Grey Cups before retiring in 2005 and was inducted into the EE Wall of Honour in 2008. #Elks #ElksCharge #Edmonton #YEG #CFL #Canadian #Football #Alberta
