Breaking news:Scott Milanovich makes a controversial statement and it causing serious issues sadly he can’t them back

The off-season has seen the Tiger-Cats focus on a youth movement while reinforcing their offensive and defensive lines. It has also been an off-season transition for veteran Tiger-Cats players. Earlier this off-season, longtime Tiger-Cats linebacker Simoni

Lawrence announced his retirement, and today, veteran National offensive lineman Chris Van Zeyl announced his retirement from the CFL, ending his 17-year career. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats and TSN announced Van Zeyl’s retirement

Van Zeyl started his CFL career with the Montreal Alouettes, who selected him as a defensive lineman in the 3rd round of the 2007 CFL Draft. During the 2008 season, the Alouettes released him and signed him with the Toronto Argonauts. While with the Argonauts, he transitioned to the proper offensive tackle position on the offensive line and spent the next ten seasons with Toronto.

While playing for the Argonauts, Van Zeyl contributed to Toronto’s two CFL Grey Cup championship victories in 2012 and 2017. He was also named a CFL All-Star in 2013 and 2017 and a CFL East All-Star in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018. During his career with Toronto, Van Zeyl established himself as an exceptional leader on and off the field.

In 2019, the Argonauts waived Van Zeyl just before the start of training camp. He immediately signed with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and would be a fixture on the offensive line. In 2019, Van Zeyl played well enough to be named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Lineman and awarded the Leo Dandurand Trophy for being the Most Outstanding Lineman in the East Division. The CFL continued celebrating Van Zeyl’s excellence as a CFL All-Star in 2019 and as a CFL East Division All-Star in 2019 and 2021.
