The Niagara Raiders are proud to announce numerous changes to our organizational structure as we prepare for the 2018 season.

Current President Larry Irish, who was a great influence to bringing the franchise to the Niagara Region, will be retiring. A former CJFL player and long-time executive, we thank Larry Irish for his remarkable contributions to the Burlington Braves, Niagara Raiders, and the entire CJFL. We wish him nothing but the best.

Brad Anderson will assume the role of President and General Manager for the Raiders. Coach Anderson had been the team’s head coach the previous two seasons, along with his 20+ years of football coaching experience. He will also serve as the team’s defensive coordinator this season.

The Raiders are proud to formally announce Dan Pepe as the Interim Head Coach for the 2018 season. In 2016, Coach Pepe served as the team’s wide receivers coach and was the Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks coach last season.
