Although the on-field success fell well short of our goals, we believe that we are taking steps in the right direction to quickly address this and we are therefore eager to move ahead with the 2016 season. General Manager Kyle Walters and his team worked hard to significantly boost the on-field talent on February 9th in Free Agency, adding key players such as running back Andrew Harris, kicker Justin Medlock, defensive tackle Keith Shologan, and receivers Ryan Smith and Weston Dressler. We are confident that all of these CFL stars will become fan favourites as Winnipeg Blue Bombers. With a very successful FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015 held at our great stadium this past June, we showed our country as well as the entire international soccer community that we have what it takes to put on a fantastic soccer tournament. In 2015, the Winnipeg Football Club also hosted one of the most positively reviewed Grey Cup events to date. The 103rd Grey Cup was more than just a sell- out; it set the bar for all Grey Cups to come.
