Hamilton Tiger-Cats News Release


Hamilton, Ontario - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that the team has acquired import offensive lineman Dan Goodspeed and a fifth-round selection in the 2009 CFL Canadian Draft from the Saskatchewan Roughriders in exchange for non-import offensive lineman Jordan Rempel and the Ticats second-round selection in the 2009 Draft.

"Dan is an experienced, veteran player who has distinguished himself as one of top offensive linemen in the league," said general manager Bob O'Billovich. "His leadership, intelligence and aggressive play will make him a significant addition to our offence."

Goodspeed, a 6-6, 313-pound native of Cleveland, Ohio was named the 2007 East Division Outstanding Lineman and earned a spot on the CFL and East Division All-Star teams in 2007 and 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Goodspeed started 57 regular season games and four postseason games over the last four seasons with the Bombers after signing as a free agent in July of 2005.

Prior to joining the CFL, the Kent State product spent time with five NFL teams as well as the XFL's Orlando Rage.

Goodspeed was acquired by Saskatchewan in a trade with Winnipeg earlier on Wednesday.
