Chris Cvetkovic Announces Retirement

Sorry no link.  Just posted on Twitter.  Thanks for the many years of service Chris!!  All the best.

Pretty sure the team informed him that he wasn't in the plans and let him retire rather than be released.

 

Ian Wild and the fullback we drafted last year makes him disposable

A classy guy who was heavily involved in the community. He was a good Blue Bomber.

Thanks to Cvetkovic for all his years as a Bomber.   Great community guy, and was steady as our long snapper for years.  Wish him the best in his life after football.

Best wishes to Cvetty going forward.  As others have said, the guy gave selflessly to the community.  Can't ask for much more from a player.

He shouldn't have cut his hair ;)

Sure would be nice to see him move into an assistant coaching role

Fantastic Bomber both on and, more importantly, off the field. Super nice guy who did great charity work...thanks for all the hard work, Cvetty!

Forgot to mention ... thanks Cvetty, enjoy your retirement! 

Enjoy your retirement!  Thank you for your contributions to the team!

Much respect to him!

Tributes keep pouring in:

Congrats on a great career @cvety50 Great player, great team leader, great community guy & even better in the shower. Another old timer gone

 

 

:huh:  :lol:

 

Congrats to Cvetty on a long and successful career.

Best of luck to Cvetty in his life after football. Great representative of the Bombers in the community and while long snapper isn't the most talked about position in football, he performed well for a long time.

Not surprising.  Good luck to him.

Good luck, I am sure we will see him around...... And a big thank you for all the work on and off the field.

Cvetty is my wife's favorite Bomber because of all the animal shelter stuff he does.  She's gonna be bummed to hear this.

Based on what we saw from Fitzgerald last year in the pre-season, he won't be long-snapping the CFL outside of an emergency situation where 2-3 other guys go down in a game.  There are other guys who can do it in an emergency, but I suspect we'll be adding a long snapper ahead of training camp.

Huclack ...

 

what do you mean? are we trading for him?

i will like that, a Winnipeger back to the fold.

 

send Cauchy to the Riders for him. :lol:

Best of luck to Cvety and Happy Retirement!

If only we had held on to Jordan Matechuk a little longer.  Maybe we can make an offer to Chad Rempel in free agency... or make a trade for Huclack... bring "Huck" back to Winnipeg where he belongs.

What's wrong with Wild snapping opens up a non-import spot that can be used in more areas.

No problem with that as long as we have a capable backup LS.  Having a starting linebacker as your longsnapper is playing with fire, IMO.
