Trainer Chris Puskas heads to McMaster after 13 years with Ticats

"After 13 seasons with the Tiger-Cats, head athletic therapist Chris Puskas has left the organization to accept a similar position at McMaster University.

Puskas originally joined the Ticats in 1998 following four years with the Toronto Argonauts athletic therapy staff.

“I’m ready for a new challenge and working at McMaster is a great opportunity,” said Puskas, who was part of Grey Cup championship teams with both Hamilton and Toronto.  “McMaster has absolutely first-class facilities so it’s a great environment to work in.  I think adjusting to dealing with student-athletes rather than professionals will be a challenge as the motivations are different, and the pros don’t have to deal with as many outside distractions as students.  I’m very excited about starting this new stage of my career.”

The Ticats search for a Puskas' replacement will begin soon.
