David Sidoo Reflects on a Memorable CFL Alumni Luncheon and Looks Forward to Supporting Vancouver’s Football Community

Vancouver, BC — Former CFL defensive back and businessman David Sidoo recently attended the CFL Alumni Legends Luncheon, an annual event organized by the CFL Alumni Association during Grey Cup week. The luncheon brought together former players, coaches, and supporters to celebrate CFL history, reminisce, and look toward the future of Canadian football.

Sidoo shared his enthusiasm for reconnecting with old teammates and how the experience renewed his commitment to growing the football community in Vancouver. “The luncheon was an amazing opportunity to reconnect, catch up, and relive some incredible memories with teammates and fellow alumni,” he shared. “It’s moments like these that remind us of the strong bond we share through the game and the lasting impact of the CFL community.”

Inspired by Vancouver’s thriving football culture, David is already looking forward to supporting the next generation of athletes through the second annual Showtime Football Camp, scheduled for this spring. As a sponsor of last year’s camp, David provided over 50 scholarships for athletes who couldn’t afford the opportunity, as he understands the importance of access to sports. A similar camp was pivotal in his youth, giving him the guidance and motivation to pursue post-secondary opportunities and kick-starting his career in football.

Reflecting on the 111th Grey Cup, David praised the CFL’s exceptional work in hosting the event and organizing a week of festivities for fans and players alike. “The 111th Grey Cup was a testament to the CFL’s dedication to its fans and players,” he said. “From the luncheon to the final whistle, it was clear how much work went into making this event special for everyone involved.”

David Sidoo looks forward to continuing to support the growth of Canadian football, inspired by the community in Vancouver and the dedicated efforts of the CFL and its alumni. The 111th Grey Cup, hosted in Vancouver, was not only a celebration of the league’s rich history but also a vision of its bright future.
