Former Ottawa Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell once said about football buzzsaw Antoine Pruneau: “
That, on the football field, was Pruneau in a nutshell. The Redblacks announced Thursday the 33-year-old is retiring, stepping away from an eight-year CFL career that included three Grey Cup appearances, one Grey Cup win and a lot of fearlessly throwing his body into anything that moved on the field.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
“Not only did he play all out at all times, he played with extreme discipline and extreme smarts,” said Redblacks head coach Bob Dyce, who became the Redblacks’ special teams co-ordinator in 2016. “His strength was truly his discipline and he took it as a personal battle to always win his 1-on-1 matchup. He continued doing that right through last year.”
“I try to take the positivity of the memories we built together over the seven years I coached him,” said Dyce. “Then you get to a point where it’s a bit selfish; that’s the point where I get sad I won’t see him every day. He brought such a passion into the building and onto the field – that’s very difficult to replace. He truly bled Redblacks. You can’t have as great a career as Antoine did if you’re not invested in all aspects. That’s why he was such a great professional.
