17 Als named Eastern All-Stars
We all knew the Alouettes were the best team this year in the CFL, but when 17 Alouettes were named All-Stars marking a new high in league history, the exclamation point has now been made to end what has been a record high for the Alouettes this regular season. Calvillo, backed by a MVP worthy season, led the Alouettes to a Franchise best record of 15 wins in 18 games. Kicker Duval did his part by getting a new CFL record in points with 242.
The Alouettes have arguably been the best team in the CFL since 2000. No other team has had as many Grey Cup appearances as Montreal (with 6), but all that will be for not if Calvillo cannot lead the Als to their 2nd Grey Cup this decade. Here is the full list of Montreal All Stars:
