CFLAA LEGENDS LUNCHEON
The CFLAA Legends Luncheon is scheduled for Friday, December 10th from 11 am to 4 pm at the End Zone Bar & Grill in Hamilton.
The Legends Luncheon is a joint effort between the CFLAA and HTCAA which are equal partners.
Proceeds will go to benefit each Association and all fundraising via heads and tails game, silent and live auction, will go to the CFL Alumni Support Fund.
This year we are honouring Co-Alumnus of the Year recipients Bob Krouse and Jason Riley. As well, it will be the inaugural year of the CFLAA Indigenous Champion Award
Since its inception in 2009, the luncheon has grown to be known as a premier event at every Grey Cup. What has given it such distinction is the number of former players in attendance, all wearing their jerseys.
Tickets are $175 + HST and include appetizers, lunch and open bar.

IN MEMORIAM - 2021
IN MEMORIAM - 2021
TIGER-CATS LOSE LEGEND
The man whose image epitomized Tiger-Cat football has passed away.
Angelo Mosca, most simply recognized as "Ang" to the entire CFL community and Hamiltonians passed away on the morning of Saturday, November 6th at the age of 84.
In his 60+ years in Hamilton, Ang will be remembered for many things. His accomplishments on the field as a fearsome defender embodied the Tiger-Cat brand of the tough blue-collar defense the team was known for. His larger than life personality with his "Tell me to my face" motto was embraced by many and dis-liked by others. He will be remembered for his friendly, kind and jovial personality as much as his abrasive one. Either way, he will be remembered.
His number is one of only two retired by the Tiger-Cats and his flag fly's at Tim Horton's Field. He is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, Wall of Honour and All-time Team. He played in nine Grey Cup and won five, his last in 1972 in Hamilton which was also his last game.
From the entire Tiger-Cat Alumni Association, we say "Oskee Wee Wee" Ang, and rest in peace, there will never be anyone like you.
RAY JONES
Ray passed away on July 22nd at the age of 86. "Jonsey" was the Tiger-Cat trainer from 1980 - 1994.

KEN CLARK
Ken died on August 8, at the age of 73.
He played four season for the Tiger-Cats from 1975-78 among his 12 seasons in the CFL. He also played the 1979 season with the Los Angeles Rams when he also appeared in the Super Bowl.
He also led Saint Mary's University to a 14–6 win over McGill University in the 1973 Canadian College Bowl to win the Vanier Cup, and won the Ted Morris Memorial Trophy as the game's Most Valuable Player.
Ken was a 4-time CFL All-Star punter on one time WFL All-Star in 1974
BRUCE IRVINE
Bruce passed away at age ninety on March 14, 2021 in Bluewater Health in Sarnia after a brief illness.
He had been a member of TC Alumni since it began. He never played on the team but had started as a water boy in 1948 with the Tigers, then worked with Jack Sanderson on TC equipment during the 50s, so was a member of two Grey Cup teams, 1953 and 1957.
He ran the scoreboard clock for many years sitting in the press box at Ivor Wynne and eventually did TV spotting so he had a forty year association with the team before he took and early retirement from Bell Canada.
He worked at Bell with Gino De Nobile. In the 50s football players had paying jobs during the day with football practice in the evenings.
RAY DILLON
Ray passed away on May 5th at the age of 92. A native of Texas, Ray played one year as HB for the Tiger-Cats in 1952, scoring 2 touchdowns.
