Paul Osbaldiston

The third team was the charm for Osbaldiston.  Osbaldiston played for BC and Winnipeg in 1986, before moving to his third team of the season and settling in Hamilton.  Once in Hamilton, Osbaldiston settled in for an 18 year career with Hamilton from 1986 to 2003.  Osbaldiston was a seventh round draft pick of th BC Lions in the 1986 CFL Colege Draft, but was released in July after just 3 games.  The Blue Bombers signed Osbaldiston, and released him after 5 games in September.  Enter Hamilton and the rest of Osbaldiston's distinguished career.  Osbaldiston was a six time East All-Star as a kicker (1989, 1990, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001), an East All-Star as a punter (1996), two time All Canadian at kicker (1998, 2001) and an All Canadia at Punter (1996).
