1873 - The Toronto Argonauts Football Club was
formed as part of the Argonaut Rowing Club using
the double blue colours of Oxford and Cambridge
Universities for club members who were rugby
football enthusiasts. The game was a form of rugby
and scoring consisted of placing the ball over the
goal line (a try) thus allowing the attacking team a
chance to kick over the uprights (a goal). U of T defeated the Argonauts Rowing Club 1 try & 1 goal to nil
on Oct. 11. Against Hamilton on Oct. 18, Toronto won
1 try 1 goal to nil. H.T. Glazebrook, an Englishman by
birth, was appointed team captain and by tradition,
the club’s first head coach.

first time at the rate of $1.00 a season. Two backto-back games with Hamilton ended in scoreless ties,
but against the Toronto Lacrosse club the Argos won
5 tries and 3 goals to nil.
1875 - H. Lambe became the second head coach
and the Argos played two games. U of T defeated
the Boatmen on a goal from a free kick, 1 -0. Varsity’s

Football Club to cease operation for the year.
1880 - The first change in Canadian football was
noted on the playing fields. The first principle of
possession was introduced in that the forwards no
longer bunched-up to kick the ball out of the “scrum,”

another, thus creating the first linemen of the game.

Orville Murphy, played Upper Canada College, Trinity
College and the Guelph Football Club.

1950 - Prior to the start of the season, the now
late Frank Clair (who arrived from the University
of Cincinnati) replaced Teddy Morris as the Argos’
Head Coach. The Argonauts started the season with
three overwhelming wins. In the playoffs, the Argos
trounced the Ticats and then defeated Balmy Beach
of the OBFU. Toronto went on to blank Winnipeg 13-0
for Earl Grey’s Cup in the infamous Mud Bowl. During
the week, Toronto was hit with a powerful snowstorm
and the day prior to the game grounds keepers at
Varsity Stadium decided to bulldoze the field. The
result was a slippery mess that was dubbed the Mud
Bowl. The Argonauts wore the longest cleats they
could find and QB Al Dekdebrun (who replaced Krol)
taped thumb tacks to his fingers to help his grip on
the ball.
1951 - In the early part of the season, the Argonauts
started to flounder, but a QB change resulted in the
Boatmen in three-way tie for first place. In the semifinals, the Tiger-Cats ousted the Argos in the two
game-total-points series.
1952 - At the halfway mark of the season the
Argonauts rolled to first place. Toronto then lost
the next three contests, but rallied and completed
the season in second place. In the playoffs, Toronto
defeated Hamilton, Sarnia and finally Edmonton to
win their 10th Grey Cup Championship. During the
season, Ulysses Curtis set both an IRFU and club
record scoring 16 TDs and rushing for an Argo record
985 yards. The team was led by such noteables as
QB Nobby Wirkowski and receivers Royal Copeland, Bill
Bass, Rod Smylie and Zeke O’Connor.
1953 - The magic was gone after Argos’ tenth Grey
Cup win. The Double Blue ended the season at the
bottom of the East. Both Hamilton and Montreal
(with Sam Etcheverry) were too strong and the Argos
scored only 172 points all season, their lowest output
since 1948 and over an expanded 14 game schedule.
1954 - Toronto improved, but had to settle for
third place and finished out of the playoffs. With
the introduction of individual statistics QB Norbert
Wirkowski set a career mark striking 62 TD passes

Shatto joined the Boatmen and quickly established
himself as a great runner, receiver and kicker.

during a 12 game schedule, Toronto finished third.
Under a new playoff system, the Argos defeated
second place Hamilton and then dropped a thrilling
final to Montreal, a game that saw Tom “Corky” Tharp

season scoring title notching 98 points.

32 touchdown passes.
1957 - Prior to the start of the season, the Argonaut
Rowing C|ub sold the football team to a group of local
Toronto personalities including media mogul John
Bassett. Hampton Pool took over as Head Coach
and Toronto scored more points than the first place
Hamilton Tiger-Cats yet still ended up in the cellar
losing 10 games. Dick Shatto, on his way to becoming
the Argos’ “Mr. Everything”, rushed for 875 yards.
1958 – The Argos finished in last for the third
consecutive season, but a few players stood out.
Shatto ran wild for 969 yards. Dave Mann had a single
touchdown run of 86 yards and combined with Boyd
Carterto return a punt 131 yards for a touchdown. It
was just the third time that two players had returned
a kick for a score in Argonauts and CFL history.
1959 – Again, the Boatmen finished in last with
4-10-0 record. Shatto rushed for 950 yards and led
the team with 46 receptions whiIe newcomer Chester
“Cookie’’ Gilchrist won the team’s scoring title with
75 Points. At the start of the season, the Argonauts
moved from the hollowed grounds of Varsity Stadium
to the legendary CNE. The NFL’s Chicago Cardinals
were invited to battle the Argonauts in an exhibition
game. Despite an early lead, the Argonauts fell 55-26
to the Cardinals.
1960 – The Argos made a big off-season signing by
acquiring QB Tobin Rote and Head Coach Lou Agase
who inspired the Boatmen to a first place, tied with
Ottawa. But there was no Grey Cup for Toronto as
Ottawa won both playoff games in tight competition.
Mann won the reception title, Rote captured the
passing crown and Gilchrist took scoring honours
with 115 points. The highlight of the year was Rote’s
seven TD passes against Montreal in a 63-27 win.
1961 - Hamilton, who were last the year before,
finished in first place while Argos took third. In the
playoffs, the Argonauts’ “Rote-to-Ron (Morris)”
shotgun formation over-powered second place then
moved on to Hamilton. The Double Blue then defeated
the Tiger-Cats in the first game of the Division Final.
In the second game, Hamilton had to win in overtime
to tie the series. Hamilton finally defeated the
Argonauts and won the Division series.
1962 - Again, the Argonauts were back in the
cellar with a dismal record. Shatto was the Eastern
Football Conference receiving leader with 47 catches
and 12 touchdowns. Lou Agase started the season as
Head Coach, but gave way to Nobby Wirkowski before
the campaign ended.

still in last. Again, Shatto led the Eastern Football
Conference in receptions the third consecutive year
with 53 catches and 859 yards.

Argonauts finished in last place yet again. The whole
year was Shatto’s, upon his retirement that season,
he held the CFL record for most career touchdowns

finished with a more respectable record of 5-9-0.

Double Blue finished low in the standings but for the
first time since 1961 they were third and into the
playoffs. The Double Blue lost to Ottawa 38-22 in
the opening round. At the start of the season, Cahill
pulled off a block buster deal with Winnipeg dealing
Argos’ receiver Bobby Taylor who won the reception
title in the Eastern Football Conference for the
second consecutive season.
1968 - A much improved Argonaut team finished in
second place behind Ottawa, but lost to Ottawa in
the playoffs in two games. Bill Symons, a BC Lions’
castoff, was the first Argo to rush over 1,000
yards including a spectacular 100-yard run against
Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He then became the first Double
Blue player to win the Schenley Award.
1969 - Toronto finished in second, behind Ottawa
once again, and again, the Boatmen lost their playoff
series to the Rough Riders. Symons ran for 905 yards
and Bobby Taylor had his best season ever with 59
receptions for 1,183 yards. The Boatmen were known
as a long-haired group of Renegades led by Mel Profit,
“Tricky” Dick Thornton, and Dave Raimey.
1970 – The Argonauts signed college star Jim
Corrigall to start the promising season. Toronto
finished in second spot in a tight East Division. In the
Semi-Final Toronto finished on the short side losing
to Montreal 16-7. Symons gained another 908 yards
on the ground and Dave Mann “Mr. Legs” retired. At
his retirement, Mann held the CFL records for most
career punts (1,261) and yards punted (55,745).
1971 – During the off-season, the Argonauts
were purchased outright by John Bassett of Baron
argonauts.ca
Broadcasting Limited. For the first time since 1960,
the Double Blue captured first place. Argos new QB
Joe Theismann won the Eastern Football Conference
passing title and Argos’ Leon McQuay rushed for 977
yards. Also part of the Argos arsenal that season
were newcomers Jim Stillwagon, Tim Anderson
and Gene Mack. In the playoffs, the Boatmen were
supreme as they moved into the Grey Cup after a
19-year absence. The Double Blue lost a tight game
to Calgary. As a consolation, Leo Cahill became the
Argonauts first Coach of the Year recipient.
1972 - Too many injuries put Toronto in last place
with a 3-11-0 record. Toronto ended up just a win away
from third place and a playoff position.
1973 - The Argonauts celebrated their centennial
year, existing as a team for 100 years. Under new
Head Coach John Rauch the club rebounded from
their previous year’s problems and injuries. It was
an extremely tight race in the Eastern Football

game against Montreal, both teams were tied 10- 10
at the end of regulation time, but the Alouettes won
it in overtime 32-10.
1974 - The Argonauts again had a new owner. William
Hodgson, then President of the Skyline Hotel chain
had purchased the team in the off-season. A new 16
game schedule was introduced and Assistant Coach
Joe Moss was promoted to acting Head Coach when
Rauch was dismissed. The Argonauts finished in
fourth spot. Kicker Zenon Andrusyshyn, “The Big Z”
set an Argo scoring record with 134 points, including
32 field goals.
1975 - The 2-point convert attempt was introduced
to Canadian football and by winning the last game
of the season by 16 points over the Argonauts, the
Hamilton Tiger-Cats took third place and the last
playoff spot in the Eastern Football Conference.
Zenon Andrusyshyn finished second in scoring and
punting. Doyle Orange became the second Argonaut
to rush over 1,000 yards.
1976 - A last game defeat at the hands of the
Hamilton Tiger-Cats gave Toronto a tie with
Montreal for third spot and no playoff berth.
Zenon Andrusyshyn took second spot on the alltime Argo scoring chart with 501 points and an
Argo record 100 career converts. Chuck Ealey had
the longest run by a QB (86 yards) and Anthony
Davis set an Argonauts records for most kickoff
returns and yards.
1977 - The Toronto Argonauts introduced “football

uniform scheme. With the return of Leo Cahill as Head
Coach, the Argonauts finished in the playoff picture,

final playoff, Toronto was defeated 21-16 by Ottawa.
Andrusyshyn set a CFL record with a 108-yard punt
and became the Argos all-time scoring leader with
607 career points.
1978 - The Boatmen hit a mid-season slide and lost
8 consecutive games. Again, Toronto came out on the
losing end in the first playoff round. Head coach Leo
Cahill was replaced by Bud Riley at mid-season.
1979 - Carling O’Keefe Breweries purchased the
Toronto Argonauts Football Club. Former NFL player
and coach Forrest Gregg became the Argonauts
new Head Coach. In the early stages of the season,
Toronto slowly climbed through the standings and
after six games the Boatmen were in first place at
4-2-0. However, they finished the season in fourth
place and out of the playoffs.
1980 - Willie Wood became the Argos Head Coach
and the first black coach in the CFL. The Argonauts
were in the playoff hunt until the Hamilton TigerCats eliminated their chances. Bob Goddis caught
68 passes (the most since 1956) and Billy Hardee
equaled an Argo record by returning two punts for
touchdowns in one season.
1981 - With Condredge Holloway from Ottawa and
rookie Cedric Minter to bolster the ground attack,
1981 promised an improved team. However, Toronto
slumped badly forcing, Willie Wood to be replaced by
Tommy Hudspeth as interim coach after 10 games.
Under Hudspeth, the Boatmen won two games and
took over 3rd spot from Montreal. But the Argos
could not hold on and missed the post-season. In the
first Hamilton game Terry Greer returned a kickoff for
109 yards and a score, finishing the match with 214
return yards; both Argo records, and Cedric Minter
finished second in rushing in the East with 815 yards.
1982 - Ralph Sazio, choosing wisely, picked Bob
O’Billovich from assistant ranks in Ottawa as
the Argonauts Head Coach. Winning results were
immediate. The Argos had their first winning season
since 1973. They whacked Ottawa 44-7 in the Eastern
Final. O’Billovich, answering to “Obie,” won Coach of
the Year honours. The Argos, in their first Grey Cup
appearance since 1971, lost at CNE Stadium, 32-16
to Edmonton.
1983 - Toronto won 12 league games, a team record.
They beat Hamilton 41-36 in a rousing East Final.

with some last-ditch dramatics by QB Joe Barnes,
who replaced QB Condredge Holloway.

1984 – The Argos reeled off six consecutive triumphs
and finished 9-6-1, first in the East for the third year
in a row. Dan Ferrone won the Leo Dandurand Memorial
trophy as the East’s Outstanding Offensive Lineman.
The Argos lost a lively East Final by a single point in
overtime, 14-13 to Hamilton.
1985 - Leo Cahill rejoined the Argos as General
Manager. Injuries reduced the Argos to fourth
place. The team finished 6-10, struggling after QBs
Holloway and Ricky Turner were injured.
1986 - The Argos were 10-8-0 in 18 games. The twogame total points East Final was a smashing affair
which the Argos lost 59-56 to Hamilton. Willie Pless

1987 - The Montreal Alouettes abandoned the CFL
when owner Norman Kimball abruptly pulled the plug.
The Argos finished 11-6-1, one point behind Winnipeg.
They beat Hamilton 29-13 in the Eastern Semi-Final
and surprised Winnipeg 19-3 in Division Final. Gill
Fenerty was named rookie of the year. Eight Argos
made All-Canadian. Coach Bob O’Billovich won the
Annis Stukus Trophy for second time as Coach of the
Year.
1988 - The Argos enjoyed an outstanding season
again in 1988, setting team records for wins with a
14-4-0 record, which included a seven-game winning
streak. The Double Blue suffered the ultimate
disappointment, however, when they lost the Eastern
Final 27-11 to Winnipeg in the last game ever played at
Exhibition Stadium.
1989 - On December 12, Harry Ornest purchased the
team from Carling O’Keefe as the Argos were about
to move into their new home in downtown Toronto.
The new facility, named SkyDome, was the first of its
kind, with a retractable roof and an ideal metropolitan
location. To accompany the move, the Argonauts
changed both their helmets and uniforms. Leo Cahill
was dismissed as General Manager and replaced by
Mike McCarthy. Fenerty rushed for 1,247 yards and
his eventual replacement Michael “Pinball” Clemons
was a raw rookie.
1990 – Bob O’Billovich left following the 1989 season,
Don Matthews took over the Head Coaching reins,
and new Director of Player Personnel, Mike McCarthy,
rebuilt the franchise around star pivot Matt Dunigan.
The Argos put up a record 689 points during the
regular season, but had trouble handling the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers all season long, and ended up losing
the Eastern Final to Winnipeg 20-17 on a last-minute
field goal. Michael “Pinball” Clemons set a pro football
record with 3,300 all-purpose yards, and became the
third Argo to win the CFL’s Outstanding Player award.

1991 - Harry Ornest sold the Toronto Argonauts to a
group spearheaded by L.A. Kings owner Bruce McNall,
NHL great Wayne Gretzky and legendary comedian/
actor John Candy. Their acquisition of the team
spawned immediate success. The team snatched
Heisman Trophy winner Raghib “Rocket” Ismail from
the NFL draft and coach Don Mathews was replaced
by Adam Rita. The 1991 Argo squad was one of the
most electrifying teams that Toronto had ever seen.
A 13-5-0 regular season record earned the Argos a
home playoff game at SkyDome. In front of a club
record crowd of over 50,000, the Argos thumped
the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 42-3 en route to a Grey
Cup birth. Led by a thrilling 87-yard kickoff return
by Rocket Ismail, the Argos captured the 79th
Grey Cup by defeating Calgary 36-21 in the coldest
championship game on record at Winnipeg. Adam Rita
would be named the CFL’s Coach of the Year.

the sidelines and the Argos finished a woeful 4-14-0.
O’Billovich was dismissed at season’s end, and left as
the club’s all-time winningest coach with 89 victories,
79 losses and three ties in 11 seasons.
1992 - The Cinderella story of 1991 would
unfortunately only last one year as 1992 was the
beginning of a rough couple of years for the Argos.
Popular head coach Adam Rita was dismissed in
September as the team struggled to find its way,
eventually finishing with a 6-12-0 record. Assistant
Coach Dennis Meyer took over from Rita after 11
games and finished the season 3-4-0 and out of the
playoffs. The City of Toronto hosted the Grey Cup for
the 45th time.
1997 - Repeating as champions is one of the
most difficult accomplishments in professional
sports. The season saw the emergence of SB
Derrell “Mookie” Mitchell. The speedy receiver helped
lead the Argos to another 15-3-0 season. At the
East Final in Toronto Michael “Pinball” Clemons
was the hero catching the game-winning TD
with just 40 seconds on the clock. The Argonauts
easily defeated the Saskatchewan Rough Riders 4723 in the Grey Cup. The team finished the year with
11 players named to the All-Star team and four CFL
awards. Doug Flutie won the Most Outstanding
Player award, Mike Kiselak as Most Outstanding
Lineman, Derrell Mitchell as Most Outstanding Rookie
and Don Matthews as Coach of the Year.
1994 - McNall, Gretzky and the late John Candy sold
the club to TSN Enterprises. Toronto Blue Jays Vice
President Paul Beeston was named the Argonauts
new team President. Under Beeston and GM Bob
O’Billovich, the Argonauts doubled their win total
from the year previous and qualified for the CFL
playoffs for the first time in three seasons. The Argos
new found success was short lived, however, losing to
the eventual Grey Cup Finalist Baltimore Stallions.
1995 - 1995 was a transition year for the Argos
and change within the franchise, was evident. Bob

over his coaching whistle to Mike Faragelli. Veteran
QB Kent Austin was introduced to lead the club and
the familiar “A” logo was replaced by a bold shielded
warrior. The off-field transformations did little for

1998 - The Argos looked to “three-peat” in 1998,
however, roster changes and numerous rookies
entering camp, the task was going to be difficult. Star
QB Doug Flutie and kicker Mike Vanderjagt left for the
NFL and RB Robert Drummond became a member
of the B.C. Lions. After starting the year slow, the
Argonauts starting pivot Kerwin Bell returned to lead
the club to an 8-3-0 mid-season run. The team crept
into the playoffs and lost to Montreal East SemiFinal. Derrell Mitchell emerged as one of the best
receivers in Argo history following his CFL record
160 reception season and all-star honour. Paul
Masotti passed Darrell K. Smith as the team’s
all-time leading receiver after 11 seasons of play.
1999 - Eric Tillman was appointed to GM and
Offensive Coordinator Jim Barker replaced Don
Matthews as Head Coach. Injuries riddled the
Argonauts early, but the league’s best defence
helped lift the club to a 9-9 record. The team would
qualify for the playoffs but lost tp the eventual
champions Hamilton Tiger-Cats 27-6. Linebacker
Mike O’Shea became the first Argo player to win the
CFL’s Most Outstanding Canadian Award.

1993 - The CFL made its first venture into the
United Sates with the addition of the Sacramento
Gold Miners. Argonauts GM Mike McCarthy pulled
off the biggest trade in CFL history that saw Tracy
Ham come to Toronto in a blockbuster 16-player deal
with the Edmonton Eskimos. However Ham’s presence
and a great season by rookie receiver Manny Hazard
didn’t stop the slide as the Argos dropped to 3-15-0,
their worst record since 1981. Bob O’Billovich returned
to the Boatmen and replaced Dennis Meyer as head
Coach on September 10, 1993 and was later named
GM.
1996 - The Argos went from basement dwellers to
the class of the CFL. Don Matthews returned as Head
Coach and he surrounded himself with free agent
talent that would eventually win him a Grey Cup. Free
agents Doug Flutie, Mike O’Shea and Reggie Givens
were perfect complements for Michael Clemons,
Robert Drummond and the electrifying Jimmy “The
Jet” Cunningham. Flutie would lead the Argonauts to
a 15-3-0 season and a berth in the 1996 Grey Cup
Championship game. Flutie’s Argonauts defeated the
Edmonton Eskimos 47-23 in a snowy Ivory Wynne

2000 - Just months prior to training camp, New York
businessman Sherwood Schwarz became the ninth
owner in the history of the franchise. J.I. Albrecht
was named as the teams Managing Director and
John Huard was named Head Coach. Argo great
Paul Masotti retired as the team’s all-time leading
receiver. After a 1-6-1 start, legendary Argo Mike
“Pinball” Clemons traded in his cleats for a head set
and replaced Huard as Head Coach. Clemons played
two games as a player/coach before retiring from the
CFL to become the Argos full-time Head Coach. The
team finished just shy of the playoffs with a 7-11-1
record.
2001 - With Clemons entering his first full season as
a Head Coach, the Argos went about the business of
getting the team back into the post-season. After a
difficult 2-7 start to the season, which wasn’t helped
with injuries to starting QB Kerwin Bell, the Argos, led
by veteran players Derrell Mitchell, Mike O’Shea and
Adrion Smith, won 4 of the last 6 games to narrowly
miss out on the playoffs again, finishing with a 7-11-0
mark.
2002 - Clemons stepped down as Head Coach to
make way for Gary Etcheverry, whose defensive
philosophy was to be complemented by newly acquired
DE Joe Montford. After a 4-8 start, Etcheverry was
replaced by Clemons, who returned to the sidelines
after being appointed team President. Clemons’
presence by the bench would sparked the club. First,
they defeated the Calgary Stampeders 33-32 to
clinch a playoff birth, then they hosted their first
playoff game in five years defeating the Saskatchewan
Roughriders 24-14. The Argos then headed down the
401 to face the league-leading Montreal Alouettes in
the East Championship, losing to the eventual Grey
Cup champions 35-18 in front of a boisterous sell-out
crowd at Olympic Stadium.
2003 - CFL legend Damon Allen was acquired to give
the team veteran leadership at the pivot position,
DE Joe Montford was traded to Hamilton for speedy
receiver Tony Miles and Noel Prefontaine, Bashir
Levingston and Michael Jenkins returned after short
absences. The Argonauts finished the season 9-9-0
and advanced to the playoffs. Because of the crossover playoff rule, the Argos hosted, and defeated,
BC in the East Semi-Final then traveled to Montreal.
Unfortunately, the Double Blue came up short in

CFL League Office acquired control of the club from
Sherwood Schwarz in September. Local businessmen
David Cynamon & Howard Sokolowski took control of
the historical franchise in December and immediately
appointed Keith Pelley the new President of the
Toronto Argonauts.

2004 - Under new ownership and leadership former
Argonaut QB Kent Austin was brought aboard as
the Offensive Coordinator. The ageless wonder, QB
Damon Allen earned Grey Cup MVP honours, but more
importantly helped the Argos capture their 15th Grey
Cup in a 27-19 win over the B.C. Lions. The Argonauts
realized 10-year attendance highs during the regularseason and a resurgence occurred within the city of
Toronto as Boatmen returned to glory.
2005 - The Argos posted their best record since
1997, finishing 11-7 sitting atop the East Division. In
turn, they also hosted the East Championship for the
first time in eight years in front of 44,211 raucous
fans at Rogers Centre. QB Damon Allen generated
his best numbers in his illustrious 21-year CFL career,
earning the CFL Most Outstanding Player Award. For
the first time since 1997, the Boatmen boasted three
1000-yards receivers (Arland Bruce lll, Robert Baker
and Tony Miles). On the defensive side of the ball,
linebackers Kevin Eiben and Michael Fletcher received
East Division awards for Outstanding Canadian and
Defensive Player respectively. P/K Noel Prefontaine
added East Division Special Teams Player of the Year
to the Argos’ long list of accolades, along with a
league-high 12 Division All-Stars.
2006 - As training camp opened, the Argos made a
splash when they lured former Heisman Trophy winner
RB Ricky Williams to Canada. Quarterback Damon
Allen became professional football’s all-time leading
passer, moving ahead of Warren Moon on Labour Day
in Hamilton. The team, however, was decimated by
injuries at almost every position and the Argonauts
stumbled out of the gate to a 2-5 record. Mid-season
health bred new promise, combined with the stellar
play of a dominant defence, the Double Blue won 8 of
their remaining 11 regular season games and finished
in second place. The Argos hosted the Winnipeg Blue
Bombers in a thrilling East Semi-Final at Rogers
Centre that saw QB Michael Bishop and LB Chuck
Winters team up to lead the Boatmen to one of the
greatest come-from-behind- victories in Argo history.
The Argos fell to Montreal a week later in the East
Championship. The Boatmen finished the season
with 11 East Division All-Stars and three CFL AllStars. CB Byron Parker, who re- joined the Boatmen in
mid-season, set a CFL record with 348 interception
return yards and 4 touchdowns while LB Mike O’Shea
became just the third player, and first Canadian, in
CFL history to record 1,000 or more defensive tackles
in a career.

the first time in 15 years and the Argos’ focus was

in the history of professional football, QB Damon
Allen, decided to retire after 23 seasons in the CFL.
Training camp opened with another trade that sent
K/P Noel Prefontaine to the Edmonton Eskimos.
This was followed by the signing of former Argo Mike
Vanderjagt, the most accurate kicker in NFL history.
But the 2008 ship did not sail smoothly. Many
personnel moves were made including the release of
veteran S Orlondo Steinauer and QB Michael Bishop
was traded to Saskatchewan. After beginning the
season 4-6, Head Coach Rich Stubler was replaced
mid-season by the winningest coach in CFL history
Don Matthews. Unfortunately, The Don did not add
any wins to his record in 2008 as he went 0-8 with
the team missing the playoffs for the first time in 7
years as they finished 3rd in the East Division with
a 4-14 record allowing Edmonton to cross over. One
on-field highlight was the dynamic play of RB/KR
Dominique Dorsey who, despite missing 5 games due
to injury, became the CFL’s Most Outstanding Special
Teams Player.

2009 – The Argonauts continued to struggle under
new Head Coach Bart Andrus, who was hired on
January 16, and did not make the playoffs for a
second straight year, finishing the season a dismal
3-15. With a rotating line-up of starters, one of
the few bright spots was RB Jamal Robertson who
was the first Argos rusher to put up more than
1000 yards on the season since Michael Jenkins in
2001. LB Kevin Eiben continued his strong play in a
defensive unit that held its own. Off the field, Bob
Nicholson re-joined the team in May as President
and CEO. Under his leadership, the club launched the
Level The Playing Field program, in conjunction with
The Argos Foundation, TDSB and TFSS. The program
helped return football teams to four Toronto-area
high schools with a $10,000 donation to each school.
More than funding, Level The Playing Field featured
mentorship, education and events. At the beginning
of December, the Argos announced that Bart Andrus
would not continue as the team’s head coach.
2010 – The 2010 off-season brought a renewed
sense of optimism for the Boatmen. David Braley
bought the team in February 2010 and Jim Barker
returned for his second stint as Argonauts head
coach. Barker immediately installed leadership in
the coaching ranks and into the roster. Barker did
not waste any time making several personnel moves
while welcoming an entirely new coaching staff
including former players Mike O’Shea (Special Teams
Coordinator) and Orlondo Steinauer (Defensive Backs
Coach). He overhauled the team’s roster starting
with Canadian receiver Andre Talbot, by trading him
to the Edmonton Eskimos for defensive tackle Eric
Taylor in February. Argonauts later acquired CFL
All-Star Jeremaine Copeland from Calgary. Barker
continued to make headlines in February when he
released all three of the club’s quarterbacks: Kerry
Joseph, Cody Pickett, and Steven Reaves. After
trading with Saskatchewan for QB Dalton Bell, the
team announced the free agent additions of former
NFL QBs Gibran Hamdan, Cleo Lemon and Ken Dorsey
in March. The club later signed Queen’s University star
and Vanier Cup champion, Danny Brannagan who, at
season’s end, became the first-Canadian QB to
dress in a game for the Argos since 1994 (Eric
Ursic) and the first to enter a game since 1969
(Frank Cosentino). With the departure of 1,000yard rusher Jamal Robertson to B.C., rookie RB
sensation Cory Boyd was signed and achieved
the second-most prolific rushing season in team
history. The Argos completed their off-season by
sending a draft pick to Montreal for dynamic KR/
WR Chad Owens on the last day of training camp.
Owens went on to lead all kick return categories and
was named CFL Most Outstanding Special Teams
Player. With a new and improved roster, the Argos
got off to a quick 5-2 start. QB Cleo Lemon won
the starting quarterback job as well as 10 games

History
Argos and the team was forced to start four different
quarterbacks (Damon Allen, Michael Bishop, Mike
McMahon and Ian Butler) in the first eight games.
QB Michael Bishop, who looked overpowering early,
broke his wrist in game three and missed most of the
first half of the season. He was joined on the injured
list by host of other starters but, despite a 2-5
start, the team rallied together behind East Division
Outstanding Defensive Player DE Jonathan Brown
and East Division Outstanding Special Teams Player
Dominique Dorsey. Bashir Levingston and Dominique
Dorsey set a pro-football record with 129-yard kick
return touchdowns. Fan-favourite Derrell ‘Mookie’
Mitchell signed on as a free agent and surpassed Paul
Masotti as the club’s all-time leading receiver and
Bishop returned from the IR and the Argos reeled off
nine wins in 10 games to secure first place. The Argos
hosted the Blue Bombers in the East Final at Rogers
Centre but could not punch a ticket to the Grey Cup,
falling 19-9. The Argos put nine players on the East
All-Star squad, and six on the CFL All-Star team – the
most for an Argos team since 2003. In addition, the
Argos led a season-long initiative to determine an AllTime Argos depth chart, post-WWII, which saw alumni
such as Carl Brazley, Mel Profit, Reggie Pleasant,
Jim Stillwagon and many more greats return to
Toronto. Following the wildly-successful 2007 Grey
Cup festival, President & CEO Keith Pelley departed
the Argos and on December 4, the Argos ushered in
an exciting new era by introducing an executive team
that included new CEO Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons and
COO Brad Watters. Two days later, Rich Stubler was
named the club’s 39th Head Coach.

also welcomed back all-star K/P Noel Prefontaine in
a trade. The Double Blue finished the season in third
place with a 9-9 record and a berth in the East-Semi
Final against Hamilton. After defeating the Ticats
16-13 at Ivor Wynne, the Argonauts moved on to play
the Montreal Alouettes in the East Final. Barker was
awarded the CFL’s Coach of the Year (Annis Stukus)
award for his efforts and, after the season, was
named the club’s General Manager & Head Coach
as Adam Rita’s contract was not renewed by the
team. The Double Blue boasted 4 CFL All-Stars and
7 East All-Stars. The Boatman celebrated their 10year anniversary of the Huddle Up Bullying Prevention
Program, presented by Tim Hortons.
2011 – Expectations were high as the Argos tried to
build on where they’d left off in 2010. A slow start,
however, saw the club go 2-7-0 into Labour Day and
finish 6-12-0 on the year, which put them out of
playoff contention for the third time in four seasons.
But there were a few bright spots on the field. Star
RB Cory Boyd became the second player (RB Michael
Jenkins) in Argos history to compile 1,000 rushing
yards in back-to-back seasons, and WR/KR Chad
Owens became the first player in pro-football history
to achieve back-to-back seasons with at least 3,000
combined yards while also setting a number of club
records. CB Byron Parker established a new CFL
record by returning his ninth career interception for
a touchdown. Finally, veteran WR Jeremaine Copeland
reached 10,000 career receiving yards in 2011 and
then announced his retirement from football following
the season. QB Steven Jyles came to Toronto in
an off-season trade with Winnipeg, but was added
to the nine-game injured list for the start of the
season. Instead, Argos’ incumbents QB Cleo Lemon
and QB Dalton Bell battled for the starting position.
Ultimately, Lemon opened the season as the team’s
starter and was released in the days following the
club’s Labour Day contest at Rogers Centre. The
athletic Jyles took over but another injury sustained
in the second-last game of the year in Winnipeg
prevented him from finishing the season. Dalton Bell
started team’s final game of the year. Changes and
turmoil continued throughout the season and with
the team coming off its fifth consecutive loss, the
Argonauts parted ways with Defensive Coordinator
Chip Garber and Defensive Backs coach Orlondo
Steinauer was promoted in his place. Star LB Kevin
Eiben sustained a season ending injury which forced
him to play his final game as an Argonaut. Despite
the team’s on field challenges, they finished with
seven CFL East All-Stars and two CFL All-Stars.

The Double Blue was also the focus of a documentary
entitled, The Extra Yard. Financed by TSN, camera
crews were given access to team meetings, coaches
meetings, practice, the players’ personal lives and
more. In all, there were four episodes aired online, on
TSN and on CTV, which were met with positive reviews.
Before the end of the calendar year, Jim Barker
relinquished his Head Coach title and became the
club’s General Manager. His first order of business
was to appoint Scott Milanovich, who had been the
Offensive Coordinator in Montreal, as the teams 42nd
head coach in December. Barker then continued the
momentum, and just days later shocked the CFL by
pulling off a blockbuster trade with Edmonton. The
Boatmen sent QB Steven Jyles, K Grant Shaw and the
Argonauts’ first-round pick in the 2012 CFL Canadian
Draft to the Esks in return for QB Ricky Ray. Off the
field, the team officially announced in the spring that
the city of Toronto would be host to the 100th Grey
Cup championship in November 2012.
2012 - The 2012 off-season brought a sense of buzz
to the Argonauts that had not been present in some
time. Scott Milanovich was entering his first season
as a head coach after coming to Toronto from
Montreal’s staff, and QB Ricky Ray was preparing
to play for the Argos after 10 seasons with the
Eskimos. Milanovich added former Stampeders
defensive coordinator, Chris Jones who was named
Toronto’s Assistant GM/Assistant Head Coach/
Defensive Coordinator prior to the 2012 season. The
rest of the off-season was spent gathering pieces
to help Ray shine, as his long-time receiving partner
from Edmonton, Jason Barnes, was added to the
receiving group. With new coaches, new players, and
re-engineered jerseys, confidence was high going into
the season, but so were expectations. The Argonauts
started 3-3, with RB Cory Boyd leading the league
in rushing before the decision was made to release
the running back during the club’s by-week. Secondyear running back Chad Kackert was promoted to
the starting position. The Argos also brought in
import K/P Swayze Waters to handle the team’s
kicking duties after veteran non-import K/P Noel
Prefontaine went down with a hip injury. Prefontaine
returned in the final weeks of the season and handled
punting duties while Waters was the place kicker. The
Argonauts would go 6-6 down the stretch, finishing
an even 9-9, and securing a home playoff game for
the first time in five years. Ricky Ray was injured on
September 23 in Montreal and missed four games as
backup Jarious Jackson took over. Ray returned for
the Argonauts’ stretch run and finished the season
setting a new club record for completion percentage in
a single season (68.6%). Chad Owens broke Michael
“Pinball” Clemons’ pro football record of 3,840
Combined Yards set in 1997, finishing the season with
3,863 combined yards : 1,328 of which were receiving
yards and 1,588 of which were kick return yards. Both

were tops in the CFL and marked the first time any
CFL player had led the league in both receiving and kick
return yards in the same season. Owens also became
the first Argo since Derrell Mitchell in 1998 to lead
the CFL in receiving yards. The record-breaking season
for Owens would become complete when he was
awarded 2012 CFL Most Outstanding Player – the
first Argos player since Damon Allen in 2005. Owens,
along with DT Armond Armstead and CB Patrick
Watkins would also be named East Division and CFL
All-Stars for their spectacular 2012 campaigns. The
Argonauts were red hot heading into the playoffs as
they trampled over the Edmonton Eskimos at home
during the Eastern Semi-Final matchup with a 42-26
victory, sending them to Montreal for the Eastern
Finals. While at the “Big-O”, the Boatmen were able
to secure their place in the 100th Grey Cup in Toronto
after mounting a second-half comeback behind a 139
yard rushing performance from Chad Kackert and
two clutch interceptions by rookie LB Marcus Ball. A
date with the Calgary Stampeders in the 100th Grey
Cup game at home at the Rogers Centre was next.
It would be the first time the Argos had played in a
Grey Cup game at home since 1982 and the first time
the Argos won the Grey Cup at home since 1952. This
game saw the Double Blue develop an early lead and
never look back, securing their place in Double Blue
history and a 35-22 win. This marked the team’s 16th
Grey Cup victory, the most out of any other team
in the CFL. Chad Kackert received 100th Grey Cup
Most Valuable Player honours while DE Ricky Foley, a
native of Courtice, Ontario, won 100th Grey Cup Most
Valuable Canadian. Head Coach Scott Milanovich
eventually secured the Annis Stukus trophy as the
2012 CFL Coach of the Year.
Recess, presented by Goodlife, experienced another
successful season and the club hosted a player
safety seminar for coaches as part of the Level the
Playing Field program, presented by Tim Hortons.
History
In addition, the 100th Grey Cup Festival has gone down
as one of the greatest in history. It was an Invitation
to Our Nation that transcended “beer and football”
uniting Canadians from coast-to-coast in Toronto
for a nine-day, ten-night festival which encompassed
more than 50 events ranging from traditional team
parties, galas and player awards to the Rushes
Football Film Festival, presented by Nolitours, and
family fun zone at great venues including the Metro
Toronto Convention Centre, Nissan Family Zone at
Yonge-Dundas Square and mbna Adrenaline Zone
at Nathan Phillips Square. Complete with street
closures, extensive free-to-the-public entertainment
and activities and youth programs, the 100th Grey
Cup was a sport and cultural celebration that
attracted in excess of 300,000 people and produced
an economic impact value of $133.1 million for the
province.
The year finished off on an extreme high note as the
Argonauts’ Huddle-Up Bullying Prevention Program,
presented by Tim Hortons, in its 12th season, kept
its promise to all participating schools by bringing
the Grey Cup trophy to each school. Argo-Cise

The Alumni wants to express its congratulations to the Toronto Argonauts for what can
be described as a storybook year: 100th Grey Cup Champions; Scott Milanovich named CFL
Coach of the Year; and a sold out stadium for Grey Cup 2012.
The Association wants to take this opportunity to express its appreciation for the continued
support it receives from the Toronto Argonauts Football Club. As far as we are concerned, the
support from the club is second to none across the league.
The Alumni was saddened by the passing of Bruce Smith, Jack Roberts, Ron Lancaster Jr.,
Len Chandler and Al Pfeiffer. We would like to send our best wishes to Bob O’Billovch and Kevin
Eiben who have entered retirement.
After several years of working hard for the Association, Pete Martin has decided to step down
as the President. However, we talked him into staying involved as the first Past President of
the Association to support me and the new executive.
The Alumni continues to grow as an organization. The addition of new members to the
Executive Committee, the hiring of an executive assistant, another successful reunion in April,
a sold out golf tournament in June, and honouring the 1983 team in August are some of the
highlights for 2013.
The objectives of the Alumni are:
• TopromotetheheritageoftheTorontoArgonautsFootballClub,theCFLandthe Canadian Football Hall of Fame
• Topromoteamateurfootball
• Toprovidesocialandrecreationalactivitiesforthemembership
• Toadvanceourrelationshipwiththecommunityatlargethroughcommunity-based initiatives
• Tosupportcharitableorganizations
We invite everyone to visit the Association’s webpage located on the club’s website and enjoy
the photo galleries.
If the Argos Alumni can be of service to you, please do not hesitate to call. We’re looking
forward to another exciting season of Argos football.
Cheers,
