Jake Ireland will be the head referee for this year's Grey Cup game, the CFL announced Thursday night.
It will be the 13th career Grey Cup appearance for Ireland and 11th as the head referee. But it will be his first CFL title game since 2001.
``I'm thrilled to be back,'' Ireland said. ``That was my objective.''
Ireland, a native of Burlington, Ont., now living in Townsend, Ont., has been a CFL official for 28 years, 24 as a referee.
