ALOUETTES’ SPIEGEL DIES

MONTREAL The COVID-19 pandemic robbed the Montreal Alouettes of a 2020 season and coowner Sidney Spiegel the chance to see his franchise play. Spiegel died Wednesday in Toronto. Both the Alouettes and CFL confirmed Siegel’s passing in separate statements Friday. Spiegel’s age wasn’t divulged. But he was listed as being 89 when he and Gary Stern purchased the Alouettes from the CFL in January, 2020.
