HAMILTON — Ted Goveia can finally lift his head and breathe. It's been a hectic first three months for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats general manager but the Burlington, Ont., native doesn't have to look far to gain a sense of perspective or appreciation.
It's been a hectic first three months for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats general manager but the Burlington, Ont., native doesn't have to look far to gain a sense of perspective or appreciation.
Goveia was named Hamilton's GM on Dec. 5, 2024, following 11 years with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He began as Winnipeg's assistant GM/player-personnel director before being promoted to senior assistant GM in 2019 following the franchise's 33-12 Grey Cup win over the Ticats. "I don't own that record and neither do our players," Goveia said."I get the question but it doesn't change the way I work and never will.
"Look, I don't believe in building a team through free agency," Goveia said."It's not something I strive to do every year but there are certain guys who I knew could help us … I wanted players who had experience winning and being in good cultures. "I wanted to keep our strengths our strengths," Goveia said."That's one of the reasons why I brought in Kenny Lawler, I believe Bo can win a Grey Cup and I believe putting up points early in the season is important.
However, tackle Casey Sayles is Hamilton's lone returning defensive lineman although Julian Howsare is back, via free agency, following two seasons in Calgary.
