TORONTO – The Canadian Football League’s Department of Health, Safety and Integrity has announced disciplinary action stemming from Week 12 play.
The department—comprised of Chief Football Operations Officer Greg Dick, Vice-President of Officiating Darren Hackwood, Associate VP of Football Operations Ryan Janzen, and Associate VP of Health and Safety Eric Noivo—oversees all non-suspendable discipline across the league. Suspendable offenses remain under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Commissioner.
Three fines were handed down this week:
- Andrew Chatfield, defensive lineman for the Toronto Argonauts, was fined for two separate incidents involving BC Lions quarterback Nathan Rourke: a late hit and a high hit.
- Mike Rose, defensive lineman for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, was fined for a “tourist hit” on Calgary quarterback Vernon Adams Jr.
In accordance with CFL policy, the league does not disclose the monetary value of fines. Additionally, disciplinary actions are not publicly announced in cases involving dress code violations, team or staff infractions, or players who are no longer on active rosters.
