  • Tony Gabriel, One of the Best Tight Ends in the History of the Canadian Football League
    Tony Gabriel, one of the best tight ends in the history of the Canadian Football league. Tony was born and raised in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. He started his career off in the CFL by playing for the Hamilton Tiger - Cats from 1971-1974. He then went and played for Ottawa Rough Riders (now know as Saskatchewan Rough Riders) from 1975-1981. He won the Grey Cup twice in his 72' & 76' seasons. 1972 Tony won it with Hamilton and 1976 Tony won it with Ottawa Tony was named a Canadian Football League All-Star 8 times in his 10 year career. Tony Gabriel has received almost every award possible for an athlete in the Canadian Football League. In 1974, 1976, 1977, & 1978 Tony Gabriel was voted for Most Outstanding Canadian in the Grey Cup. In 1976 Tony led the Canadian Football League in receiving yards with 1320 yards, then in 1977 with 1362 yards. For a tight-end to lead the Canadian Football League in receiving yards is un-heard of. In 1978 Gabriel was awarded the Most Outstanding Player in the Canadian Football League. Then in 1972 Tony was selected All- East All-Star team for the Canadian Football League. Tony was selected to the All-Canadian All-Star team. Tony was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1985. To top it off Tony was inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. So easy enough to say he is no regular football player, he is one of the best to ever been watched and cheered by adoring fans, he is one of the best to ever graced a Hamilton Tiger - Cats jersey, or an Ottawa Rough Riders jersey.

Certainly the strong correlation between hard work and success, over- coming adversity, the need for collaboration, understanding your role and those of your teammates, mutual respect etc.” – Bruce MacRae, University of Western Ontario “It is not fair to compare players from the past to players of today. Today’s players are bigger and faster and the game is different.” – Larry Smith, Bishop’s University “My coach took me under his wing, guided me along and gave me lots of encouragement.” – Denny Hrycaiko, University of Manitoba “As a salesman, as in football, you have to keep going back and trying something different until you succeed.

We are proud to share their stories, and honored that their legacies continue to shine with us at the Society.
