State before landing a job with the Vermont Bucks this spring. "It's really exciting. Being with the Bucks, I didn't think it was gonna end before the season actually ended. I was planning to see it all the way through and win a championship with them," Ojala said. "It was just part of the plan to move on and I'm really excited about it. Ojala is not the only Bucks player expected to join the Alouettes. Vermont head coach Ervin Bryson said the CFL franchise plans to sign five more Bucks players once Vermont's playoff run comes to an end. The Alouettes kick off the regular season June 22.
