Donovan had been the Stingers’ defensive co-ordinator and assistant head coach since 2014. His previous experience included five seasons with the McGill Redmen as an assistant coach and recruiting co-ordinator.
The native of Laconia, N.H. played five seasons with the Stingers, capping his career with back-to-back Presidents’ Trophy honours as the outstanding defensive player in Canadian university football (2005 and 2006). The two-time all-Canadian linebacker was also Quebec’s 2007 nominee for the outstanding male university athlete in Canada.
