“I believe in my teammates, I believe in the coaches, I’ve got a lot of faith in this team. I think we can make a good run at the Grey Cup this year, so I’m excited to get back to work with everybody.” 

The five-year CFL veteran spent his first four years with the Calgary Stampeders, who drafted the Simon Frasher alum 28th overall in the 2017 draft.

Litre has a career 41 receptions for 319 yards and 147 carries for 519 yards and three touchdowns.

The six-foot, 229-pound back has played in six playoff games and was a member of the 2018 Stampeder club that won the Grey Cup.

The Elks opens their regular season against the Saskatchewan Roughriders at home June 11.

Their first pre-season game May 22 is against Calgary.
