1986 Montreal Alouettes season

Canadian football team season March 2026 Montreal Alouettes 1986 4–14 3rd, East Charles Bronfman Gary Durchik Olympic Stadium Did not qualify 1985 (Concordes) Image:CFL MTL Jersey 1986.png Alouettes seasons The 1986 Montreal Alouettes finished the season in third place in the East Division with a 4–14 record and missed the playoffs. The Montreal Concordes were renamed the Alouettes following the 1985 season to mark the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Alouettes. The Montreal Alouettes were facing severe financial difficulty, having lost close to $15 million between 1982–86, so having the CFL give a fourth place team in one division a playoff spot if its record was better than the third-place finisher in the other division was a disaster. When Calgary got a playoff spot over the Alouettes, the lost revenue for a playoff game further crippled the franchise, contributing to its demise shortly after the start of the following season. General manager Joe Galat left the team prior to the end of the season to take a position with the B.C. Lions on August 1. President Norm Kimball took over as GM until the end of the season Preseason Game Date Opponent Results Venue Attendance Score Record A June 7 vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers L 10–35 0–1 Canada Games Stadium 11,463 B June 12 vs. Ottawa Rough Riders W 17–16 1–1 Olympic Stadium 8,675 C June 17 vs. Toronto Argonauts L 13–24 1–2 Exhibition Stadium 21,780 Regular season Standings MON Schedule Week Game Date Opponent Results Venue Attendance Score Record 1 1 June 27 at Ottawa Rough Riders L 11–20 0–1 Lansdowne Park 17,409 2 2 July 4 vs. Toronto Argonauts L 12–20 0–2 Olympic Stadium 13,281 3 Bye 4 3 July 19 vs. BC Lions L 20–27 0–3 BC Place 42,158 5 4 July 24 at Ottawa Rough Riders W 29–28 1–3 Lansdowne Park 20,156 6 5 Aug 1 vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers L 10–37 1–4 Olympic Stadium 14,127 7 6 Aug 7 vs. Edmonton Eskimos W 17–6 2–4 Olympic Stadium 11,203 8 7 Aug 14 at Calgary Stampeders L 10–21 2–5 McMahon Stadium 28,063 9 8 Aug 21 vs. Hamilton Tiger-Cats L 23–28 2–6 Olympic Stadium 12,158 10 9 Sept 1 at Hamilton Tiger-Cats L 7–42 2–7 Ivor Wynne Stadium 23,185 11 10 Sept 7 at Edmonton Eskimos L 22–37 2–8 Commonwealth Stadium 37,332 12 11 Sept 12 vs. Ottawa Rough Riders L 28–29 2–9 Olympic Stadium 11,399 13 12 Sept 18 vs. Winnipeg Blue Bombers L 14–39 2–10 Winnipeg Stadium 21,899 14 Bye 15 13 Oct 5 BC Lions W 28–15 3–10 Olympic Stadium 5,200 16 14 Oct 12 at Saskatchewan Roughriders L 11–29 3–11 Taylor Field 17,422 17 15 Oct 17 vs. Saskatchewan Roughriders W 29–28 4–11 Olympic Stadium 9,204 18 16 Oct 24 vs. Calgary Stampeders L 12–32 4–12 Olympic Stadium 9,665 19 17 Nov 2 at Toronto Argonauts L 21–25 4–13 Exhibition Stadium 23,488 20 18 Nov 9 vs. Toronto Argonauts L 16–37 4–14 Olympic Stadium 9,045 http://www.profootballarchives.com/1986cflmtl.html 1986 Montreal Alouettes (CFL) - Pro Football Archives Roster 1986 Montreal Alouettes final roster Quarterbacks  7 I Joe Barnes  8 I Steve Calabria 14 I Walter Lewis  6 I Brian Ransom 10 I Mark Stevens Running backs 22 N Wes Cooper 36 I Shawn Faulkner 21 N Tony Johns 26 I Ricky Porter Wide receivers 86 I Gerald Alphin 24 I Steve Bird 89 N Ray Caissie 88 N Jacques Chapdelaine 82 N Greg Holmes 80 I James Hood 85 I Gill Stegall Offensive linemen 67 N Trevor Bowles T 66 N Lloyd Fairbanks T 58 I Glenn Keeble C 51 N Bob Lubig G 61 N Kevin Molle G 60 N Blake Nill T 65 N Mike Palumbo G/C 55 I Scott Robson G Defensive linemen 81 I Sandy Armstrong DE 69 I Rayford Cooks DT 68 N Glenn Kulka DE 90 N Tony Lawson DT 99 I Steve Raquet DE 70 N Doug Scott DT 71 I Brett Williams DT Special teams  3 N Zenon Andrusyshyn K/PLinebackers 75 N Ken Ciancone 43 I Will Cokeley 37 N Matt Finlay 42 I Paul Gray 77 N Mark Hopkins 72 I Lemont Jeffers 31 I William Mitchell Defensive backs  2 I Steve Benjamin 24 N Wayne Cadogan 23 I Dave Daniels 15 I Brian Dudley 32 I Terry Irvin  4 I David Martin 27 N Rick Ryan 29 N Jeff Treftlin Injured list 79 N Nick Arakgi TE  5 N Roy Kurtz K/P Italics indicate American players References External links Official Site Category:Montreal Alouettes seasons Category:1986 Canadian Football League season by team Category:1986 in Montreal Category:1986 in sports in Quebec
