Fantuz Ready For New CFL Season

Chatham’s Andy Fantuz will begin his second season as a member of the Hamilton Tiger Cats Friday, as Hamilton visits the Toronto Argonauts.

The Tiger Cats won their two preseason games this year, culminating with a 52-0 shutout win over Winnipeg at Alumni Stadium in Guelph, where the team will play their home games this season.

Fantuz caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Henry Burris in the second quarter of the win.

The real talk however, was about the new home location for this season, while a new home is constructed for the team in Hamilton.

“It’s our home field,” said Fantuz in a Tiger Cats news release about the 13,000 seat Alumni Stadium in Guelph. “The only time we really think about it is when we get questions from the media.”

Last season, Fantuz had 971 receiving yards, and 8 touchdowns in his first season with Hamilton.
