The Canadian Football Hall of Fame (CFHOF) and Museum will welcome Orlondo Steinauer and 12 other members in an induction ceremony on June 17 - the eve of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 2022 Home Opener presented by First Ontario Credit Union.

"Our incredible fans always make the home opener at Tim Hortons Field a must-attend event in the city of Hamilton." Said President & COO of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Matt Afinec. "This year will be even more special with President of Football Operations & Head Coach Orlondo Steinauer being celebrated along with 12 other deserving individuals."

The six inductees from the 2020 Class and the seven from 2021 will formally join the hallowed ranks of the CFHOF following two years of delays due to the health and safety concerns posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The previously announced 2020 Class includes offensive linemen Clyde Brock and Freddie Childress, as well as quarterbacks Henry Burris and Greg Vavra, in the Players category. The Calgary Stampeders' former Head Coach and their current President and General Manager, John Hufnagel, and former Saint Mary's University coach and Athletic Director, Larry Uteck (posthumously), will be inducted in the Builder Category.

To be inducted in the Player category as part of the previously unveiled Class of 2021 are defensive linemen Will Johnson and Mike Walker, wide receiver Nik Lewis and defensive backs Orlondo Steinauer and Don Wilson. In the Builder category, the CFHOF will welcome former Montreal Alouettes Head Coach Marv Levy and the sixth Commissioner of the CFL, Doug Mitchell.
