Jim Ambrose (c. 1930 – September 10, 1953) was a professional Canadian football tackle. He played in 30 games for the Montreal Alouettes of the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union (IRFU) from 1950 to 1952.
Ambrose played high school football at West Hill High School before playing for the Notre-Dame-de-Grace Maple Leafs (NDG Maple Leafs) of the Quebec Senior Football League. He played as the modern equivalent of both an offensive tackle and defensive tackle under the one-platoon system.[1] His performance with the Maple Leafs was described as "outstanding" in the Ottawa Journal, resulting in Ambrose's promotion into the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union.[2]
