'The Stadium that I Would Rather Play in': Als' Safety Enjoying Homecoming at McMahon

Calgary native Nate Beauchemin says the Alouettes are eager to prove themselves after last year’s Grey Cup loss to Saskatchewan.

  • Montreal Alouettes safety Nate Beauchemin prepared for the 113th CFL Grey Cup in his hometown of Calgary on Friday, facing the Edmonton Elks at McMahon Stadium where he developed as a university athlete.
  • Driven by their Grey Cup loss to Saskatchewan, the Alouettes seek redemption; linebacker Geoffery Cantin-Arku said, "We fell short last year and it's something that I reminded myself of all off season."
  • Selected as the 14th overall pick in the 2025 CFL draft, the 23-year-old Beauchemin excelled this season after primarily playing special teams as a rookie, finishing with four interceptions and a fumble return for a touchdown.
  • Head coach Jason Maas said the team is better prepared than last year, while defensive back Tyrice Beverette noted losing a championship "leaves a bad taste in your mouth for a long time."
  • Playing at McMahon Stadium requires adapting to wind conditions Beauchemin called "one of the trickier ones," though he described the homecoming as "a blessing" for his family and friends watching in Calgary.
