Tony was certainly one of the greatest quarterbacks to play for the Gaiters. Team captain from 1985 to 1987, Tony’s leadership, uncanny scrambling ability as well as an accurate arm led the Gaiters to an impressive 22-5 won-lost record during his time as a starter. He led Bishop’s to the 1986 OQIFC Championship and a Churchill Bowl appearance. Tony earned All-Canadian status for two years in a row (1986, 1987) and was also selected to the OQIFC all-star those same two years. Beyond being a brilliant multi-sport athlete (OHL goalie, single digit golf handicap) Tony is recognized as one of the leading golf artists in the world. Tony is commissioned to paint on the PGA, LPGA and Senior PGA tour events and has also done commissions for the CFL and NHL. LEROY
BLUGH Leroy is currently considered to be one of the most accomplished football players to ever play at Bishop’s. From 1986 to 1988 Leroy displayed his awesome talent as a linebacker. Leroy’s accomplishments were unparalleled - three time All-Canadian as well as a three-time OQIFC all-star. In 1988 Leroy was the recipient of the President’s Trophy presented to the top defensive player in the CIAU. In January 1989 Leroy participated in the prestigious East-West Shrine Bowl game in Palo Alto, California – a rare honour for a CIAU player. Leroy was a first-round CFL draft pick by the Edmonton Eskimos in 1989. He played 11 seasons with the Eskimos and in 1993 Leroy was an integral part of the Edmonton Grey Cup championship team. Leroy was a two-time CFL all-star and was voted the league’s Most Outstanding Canadian in 1996. Leroy finished his professional career close to his Napanee, Ontario home with the Toronto Argonauts. JAKE
VAUGHAN Jake was one of the finest athletes in Gaiter history. Following an excellent career with the Champlain Cougars, Jake starred in the defensive backfield for the Gaiters from 1984-86. In 1986 Jake helped lead the Gaiters to a 8-2 record that included the OQIFC championship as well as a berth in the Churchill Bowl. For his efforts Jake earned All-Canadian and first team OQIFC al-star honours. In 1984 Jake also played varsity basketball for Bishop’s. Jake was drafted by the Toronto Argonauts in 1987 and played for two seasons. In 1988 Jake started in the Grey Cup game as a free safety and was also the team’s kick-off specialist. WALLY
ZATYLNY There may never have been a more electrifying offensive football player for the Gaiters than Wally “White Lightning” Zatylny. From 1985 to 1987, Wally was an exceptionally fast wide receiver as well as punt and kick-off returner for the Gaiters. During his university career Wally scored 20 touchdowns in 21 games and was literally a threat to score every time he touched the ball. Wally was awarded OQIFC all-star status for three consecutive seasons. The Greenfield Park native was named CIAU All-Canadian in 1986. In 1987 Wally led the nation in reception average and was awarded the Alouette Alumni Award as the most outstanding Quebec University football player. Wally enjoyed an eight-year CFL career (seven years in Hamilton, one in Toronto ) and was a CFL Eastern Conference all-star in 1989. Wally still holds the Hamilton Tiger-Cat career kick-off return record with 3,373 yards. An engaging personality, Wally has been in high demand as a football colour commentator on various television networks in Canada. |
