Early years
Louis Blondin was born in Saguenay, Québec ,Canada. His father Alexandre Blondin was a statistics teacher at the local college. His mother Lydia Tremblay was a professional volleyball player. She represented Canada in the Olympics.
Like a lot of Québec born kids, Louis played hockey when he was younger. He really liked the sport and his dream was to become a professional hockey player playing for the Montreal Canadiens. Until a day where everything changed. His father had a statistics congress in Berlin and he took Louis with him. There he saw for the first time the game of his life the game of American football. It was the Fire Salamander against the New York Silverbacks. His dream changed and now he wanted to be a Quarterback in the ISFL. When he returned home Louis stopped playing hockey and started playing football. He was the starting quarterback for the Titans of Chicoutimi Séminaire. He was pretty good and promised a good career until a bad call from the referee changed the trajectory of his life. He got sacked in the last quarter of the final of a tournament. After that Louis was not able to throw the balls, he got the yips. The only thing he was still able to do is run fast and he still wanted to play football. So he became a linebacker and swore to make his dream come true. He was quickly scouted by the Limoilou Titans where he continued to play.
College career
After a successful cegep career, Louis Blondin hit a wall in college. Since his hockey days, he was used to be the best player on his team. When he got to Laval University, the best football college in Québec, he was not the best player. In fact, he was far from the best linebacker on the team. In his first year with the team, he did not play a single game. He spent the year getting better and training hard. It paid off and in his second year, he played the three last games of the season. He got three sacks in three games. For the playoff, the coach decided to play the more experienced player and Louis rode the bench. In his third year, Louis played every single game and his team won the championship. He got 14 sacks, 98 tackles, and 65 assists. Once again Louis Blondin felt like the best player on his team.
