Alouettes to retire Calvillo's No. 13

Sep 23, 2014 - 3:42 PM Montreal, QC (SportsNetwork.com) - The Montreal Alouettes will retire legendary quarterback Anthony Calvillo's No. 13 jersey on Oct. 13 when the team faces the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium.

A three-time recipient of the CFL's Most Outstanding Player Award, Calvillo won three Grey Cups with the Alouettes, who he joined as a free agent in 1998, and holds league records of 79,816 passing yards, 455 touchdown passes, 5,892 completions and 9,437 pass attempts.

"Having my number 13 retired alongside the team's greatest legends like Sam Etchevery, Peter Dalla Riva and my former teammate Mike Pringle at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium is an incredible privilege," said Calvillo. "I consider myself very fortunate to have been surrounded by so many talented individuals throughout my career. Without the contributions from Jim Popp, those exceptional coaches and my great teammates, none of this would have been possible."

The Los Angeles native started his CFL career with Las Vegas in 1994 before spending the next three years with Hamilton (1995-97).
