• Support out-of-town athletes transitioning to Ottawa
• Work closely with Football Ops & coaching staff

You’ll directly impact recruitment, retention, and performance.

LEGACY. EXPERIENCE. STANDARD.
Adam Rita isn’t just a name in football — he’s a lifetime invested in building it.
From Grey Cup championships to front office leadership, to developing players across North America and Europe… he’s seen every level of the game — and he understands what it takes to win.
Ottawa isn’t new to him. This city, this program, and this level of football — it’s part of his story.
And what matters most:
He believes in this level.
The CJFL is where real players are built. It’s where opportunity meets development. It’s where the next level starts.
Adam has always understood that — and he’s spent his career creating pathways between junior football and the CFL.
That same mindset built his E-Camp model — a system for identifying and evaluating players outside the regular channels of the CFL, and elevating talent that would otherwise be overlooked.
Now we bring that vision home.
This isn’t ceremonial. This is strategic.
We’re building something that connects:
➡️ Development
➡️ Exposure
➡️ Opportunity
For every player in this room.
The standard is set. The pathway is real.
