As my final act as President of the National Football Coaches Association (CUFCA), I was asked by my peers to write an open letter to the public. The Canadian National Football Coaches Association is appalled by this ruling and will do everything in our power to have it reversed.

One of the most resilient young men you will ever meet. A few years ago when he was between teams Hugh would literally sneak onto any open field time he could find to kick. Many others would not have had the grit to see things through. Congratulations Hugh!
