Fred Lamoureux

Lamoureux was in the RCAF during World War II and played football for the Lachine Airmen of the QRFU (Quebec Rugby Football League) who went to the East final in 1943 against the Hamilton Wildcats of the ORFU.   After the war, Lamoureux joined the Montreal Hornets of the Big Four / IRFU - the Hornets were the immediate predecessor of the Alouettes.  In 1946, Lamoureux joined the Ottawa Rough Riders where he remained for two seasons (1946 and 1947).  In 1948, Lamoureux returned to Montreal and played one season with the Als.  Besides playing center (or snap) as it was known back then, Lamoureux also was a placekicker (see the 1946 article below). After that, Lamoureux did play some Intermediate football and did some professional wrestling.
