[1] Trawick spent his entire 12-year career as an offensive lineman and defensive guard with the Montreal Alouettes.

Trawick attended Kentucky State College for Negroes and graduated with a degree in physical education.

Lew Hayman and Leo Dandurand were managing the new Montreal Alouettes franchise in 1946, and they did not fail to notice how popular and well-received the first black baseball player in the pros, Jackie Robinson (when he played minor league ball with the Montreal Royals), was.

Surprisingly quick for 178 cm (5 ft 10 in) and 104 kg (230 lb), he went on to play 12 seasons (1946–1957) with the Larks, 147 regular-season games in all, and be voted an Interprovincial Rugby Football Union All Star seven times.

[3][4] Parc Herb-Trawick is situated southwest of the intersection of Lionel-Groulx Avenue and Richmond Street.
