Karl-Cรฉdrick Clairmenceau

By Angel Dorvil Gelika.

Having spent the last three years in Quebec City, Quรฉbec, Karl-Cรฉdrick Clairmenceau is itching to return to familiar waters. โ€œI wanted to come back home and be closer to my family,โ€ he said. โ€œAlso, the Ravensโ€™ program is amazing from what I saw and itโ€™s stable. Thatโ€™s what I need right now.โ€

Clairmenceau, who is interested in either business or a computer-based program, added that, โ€œItโ€™s a great coaching staff. Iโ€™m excited to play for them.โ€

The 6โ€™1, 275lbs product of Gatineau, Quรฉbec, played with the Mont-Bleu Panthers in high school for five seasons before joining the Le Notre-Dame du CNDF (RSEQ Division 1) for three. He received a ROY award in 2011 and was defensive player of the year in 2012. He was a two-time MVP in 2013 and 2014. The following year he was lineman of the year. He also helped Le Notre-Dame win a Bol dโ€™Or in 2016.

Currently a left guard, Clairmenceau knows he isnโ€™t confined to one spot. โ€œI have a skillset and a baggage that lets me play anywhere on the line,โ€ he said, โ€œand now Iโ€™m just looking forward to start working and playing again.โ€

Felix Gagnรฉ

Felix Gagnรฉ played with Le Noir et Or du Collรจge de Valleyfield (RSEQ Division 2) and Le Notre-Dame in cรฉgep. In high school he played with Les Grenadiers de Louis-Philippe Parรฉ (RSEQ). The 6โ€™4, 240lbs defensive end is from Chรขteauguay, Quรฉbec.
