During this activity, this year’s King and Queen of the 2019 Shrine Bowl will share their stories along with special guests from the Montreal Alouettes (including the cheerleaders and mascot) who will speak about sports injuries and the recovery process to return to the game. As well, many of our incredible patients will participate in some exciting “pro football” training activities prepared and coached by Concordia Stingers players.
