Jeff Reinebold’s epic #CHICKSPEDITION

After John Chick was traded from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to the Edmonton Eskimos on Aug. 20, the veteran defensive end and his family – he and wife Catherine have eight kids – had to figure out how to get the family truckster and many of their belongings out west. Enter Jeff Reinebold. The veteran CFL coach had been demoted by the Ticats on Aug. 8 and ultimately decided to leave the club but stepped up to help the Chick family by making the drive halfway across the country.

An active, ALL CAPS Twitter user, Reinebold chronicled the drive on social media. Here is his journey.
