When Henoc Muamba left Mississauga, Ont., as a teenager for St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia all those years ago, he didn’t understand his potential as a football player or how he might use his place in the game to help others.
On Tuesday, the 32-year-old linebacker demonstrated how he is excelling at both, announcing a free-agent deal with the Toronto Argonauts in front of a virtual audience of Mississauga high school students he was addressing as part of a new mentorship program.
The event marked Muamba’s official return home from a football journey that has taken him to Nova Scotia, Winnipeg, Indianapolis, Saskatchewan and Montreal.

Our goal is to have all of our students as possible back here in person and getting the kind of Acadia experience that they want, said Peter Ricketts, President of Acadia University. Recognizing there still could be some students who will not be able to make it, particularly international students if travel restrictions are still place, and we will obviously work to accommodate them, he added. At Acadia, 40 per cent of classes have been fully online, 45 per cent have been a hybrid model meaning the course was delivered both in person and online and 15 per cent of classes have been in person.
