Zack Evans’ father hopes son will hoist Grey Cup with Ottawa

Zack Evans’ family will be decked out in red and black as the Regina product looks for a Grey Cup win with Ottawa.

Terry Evans only had a few minutes to speak with his son following the Redblacks’ 35-28 win in the East final Sunday.

“I said, ‘great game.’ He just said ‘thanks, Dad’ and he didn’t have much time to talk, though. Obviously he had some celebrations at the other end there.”

It’s not Zack’s first time in a Grey Cup. He was a member of the Roughriders during the Green and White’s 2013 championship season. The defensive lineman was traded shortly afterwards in the CFL expansion draft.
