AJ Ouellette ready to rock with Roughriders
AJ Ouellette is already feeling at home in Saskatchewan.
“(It’s) just the greetings I have got from everyone in the organization and even fans. My flight from Toronto to here, I already had fans reaching out to me and talking to me and saying they were excited for me to get to the city,” the 28-year-old running back said Wednesday. “They were shocked I was already flying in.”
As the newest member of the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders met with media for the first time, a prop was brought up to the table he was sitting at: A replica of the superhero Thor’s hammer Mjollnir.
Ouellette has leaned into the Thor-like persona on his social media networks and used the hammer during a touchdown celebration as a member of the Toronto Argonauts against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sept. 4 last season.
