The 1996 Canadian Football League Expansion Draft took place on March 11, 1996.[1]. In the off-season, the defending Grey Cup champion Baltimore Stallions relocated to Montréal as the revived Alouettes. Due to labor laws, American CFL franchises could not be obliged to apply the mandated ratio of players defined as Canadian; consequently, a supplemental expansion draft was held, allowing the Alouettes to add Canadian players to their roster[2]
