(Edmonton) - The Edmonton Eskimo Football Club has hired Ed Hervey as their general manager, effectively immediately.
Since 2009, the two-time Grey Cup champion and former CFL all-star was the Eskimo Head Scout. He played a key part in Edmonton's preparation for the CFL Canadian Draft each spring and held successful open tryouts for the team in Northern and Southern California.
In his eight seasons as a player, Hervey stood out with his world class speed, toughness and leadership on and off the field. In 118 career games, he caught 476 passes for 6,715 yards and 43 touchdowns. He played in eight post-season games and three Grey Cup championships. In 2006, Hervey received the David Boone Memorial Award in recognition of his tireless work in the community.
"Ed is the right man to build us a world-class team - on the field and in the community," says Eskimo President and CEO Len Rhodes. "He embodies the Eskimo Way and will give our community a consistently-competitive team for years to come."
