The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced today that the football club has signed Global punter Josh Green and National kicker/punter Eric Maximuik.
Green, 27, was selected by the Ticats with the eighth overall selection in last week’s CFL Global draft after spending three seasons at Oregon State, where he punted 66 times for 2,947 yards (44.7 average). Last season, the 6-1, 216-pound native of Adelaide, Australia set an Oregon State single-season record by averaging 47.2 yards per punt (33 punts for 1,559 yards).
Maximuik, 26, connected on 12 of 15 field goal attempts with Concordia last season, including an RSEQ record 56-yard field goal on September 29 at Laval. The 6-1, 220-pound native of Regina, Saskatchewan also excelled as a punter, earning an RSEQ all-star nod after averaging 42.9 yards per punt. Maximuik, who previously spent time with the CJFL’s Regina Thunder, was also named an RSEQ all-star as a punter in 2023.
