Edmonton Elks to introduce new owner at Thursday news conference

The Edmonton Elks will announce the name of the team’s new owner on Thursday.

The team will hold a media conference at 11:30 a.m. to make the announcement.

CTV News Edmonton will livestream the news conference.

Earlier this week a CFL source said Larry Thompson, the former owner of Thompson Brothers Construction, is the new owner.

The team has not confirmed that reporting.

With the Elks being sold to a private owner, the CFL now has just two community-owned teams: the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
