The REDBLACKS earned a 24-9 victory over the struggling Toronto Argonauts to close out the regular season, then followed up the on-field win with a great gesture to season-ticket holders.

Saturday | Montreal at Hamilton
The Alouettes scored a road victory against the Ticats, avoiding a last-place finish in the process.
Nonetheless, Hamilton fans came out loud and proud.

QB Dane Evans also had the chance to throw his first professional touchdown in front of his dad, who made the trek up from the U.S. to watch his son’s first regular-season start.
SO Glad you were able to make it Dad!! That ball is YOURS! You’ve been there with me ever since I was a little kid just wanting to play catch in the street… Love you dad!! @_CoachE_ https://t.co/KvUFp7j19f

Hell of a ride. Thanks @MTLAlouettes les partisans my teammates and coaches. More wins would’ve been great but the journey was amazing ✊🏽
