OTTAWA – The Ottawa REDBLACKS of the Canadian Football League have signed national placekicker Johnny Mark to a two-year contract with an option for a third season.
The native of Peterborough, ON comes to Ottawa after an exceptional collegiate career with the University of Calgary Dinosaurs.
Among Mark’s accomplishments:
- Recorded 114 points during the 2012 season, which ranks 9th highest in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) football history
- Had 391 career CIS points, fifth overall in CIS history
- Booted six field goals in a game September 29, 2012 against Saskatchewan
- Kicked 22 field goals in 2012, only four shy of the all-time CIS mark for most field goals in a single season.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders chose Mark in the third round (20th overall) of the 2014 CFL Draft. The REDBLACKS acquired his rights from the Roughriders earlier this year for a conditional pick in the 2016 CFL Draft.
Season tickets for the REDBLACKS are available on the team website, or by calling 613-232-6767.
