Fantuz Finding Groove at Ticats Camp

The Hamilton Tiger Cats are closing in on their tenth day of training camp and will soon be preparing for their first CFL preseason game. This season, the Tiger Cats will feature Chatham’s Andy Fantuz as a new weapon in their receiving arsenal.

Hamilton will play two preseason games this month, including one this Wednesday against the Toronto Argonauts at home, followed by a road game June 20 in Winnipeg.

Although Fantuz likely won’t take the bulk of the plays this early in the year, he is expected to be in both games to continue integrating into the Hamilton offence.

At training camp, the Tiger Cats have been running scrimmages and working with their new receivers, as well as quarterback Henry Burris to

Hamilton will welcome Fantuz’s former team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders to Ivor Wynne Stadium June 29 to open the regular season.

Last season, Fantuz was limited to four games with the Saskatchewan Roughriders after returning from the NFL’s Chicago Bears, and subsequently injuring his ankle. Fantuz made 13 catches for 175 yards.
