DARREN FLUTIE TO BE ADDED TO TICATS WALL OF HONOUR

HAMILTON – CFL Hall of Fame receiver Darren Flutie will be added to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Wall of Honour at Tim Hortons Field on Aug. 17, the team announced Thursday.

Flutie, who won a Grey Cup with the Ticats in 1999, will become the 26th person to receive the honour. His No. 82 will join the other 25 honorees on the Wall of Honour, which is on the stadium’s west side.

The now 56-year-old from Manchester, Md., played 86 games with Hamilton, earning two CFL East all-star nods (1998, 1999) and a CFL all-star selection (1999).

In the 1999 Grey Cup, Flutie hauled in six receptions for 109 yards and two touchdowns.

Flutie, who also played for the B.C. and Edmonton, ranks fourth in all-time receiving yards (14,359) and caught more than 1,000 yards in a season nine times.

The Boston College product was inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame in 2007.
