Joe Zuger 1940-2024

Hamilton Tiger-Cats

I wasn’t around when Zuger played but remember him as the Ti-Cat GM in the 80’s.

In my opinion Zuger should have been inducted into the HOF for his entire body of work and contributions to the CFL.

R.I.P. Joe Zuger and thank you for the memories of those 80’s Ti-Cat teams.

There seems to be a Native theme to Zuger’s artwork. I wonder if he had any Native roots? :thinking:

Great photo, from Grey Cup '65, with Joe’s Spectator obituary:

What a great quiet man who led the U.S. in punting as a DB and QB . Joe was definitely a throwback and should have been in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame years ago .
Now perhaps he will enshrined with his team mate Bob Krouse in the 2025 class . :+1: :+1: :+1:
