TORONTO – The Calgary Stampeders, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Saskatchewan Roughriders were named finalists for the inaugural Ted Goveia football operations award, the CFL said Thursday.

The winner will be recognized as part of the league’s coach of the year celebration on March 25 in Edmonton.

The award recognizes a team’s football operations department for outstanding achievement in scouting, player identification, roster building and leadership.

It is voted on by the football operations departments of the nine CFL clubs, the league said.

Goveia died last September at age 55. He had disclosed in June that he’d been diagnosed with cancer.

The longtime football executive was in his first season as GM of the Tiger-Cats.
