Randy Ambrosie Biography

Randy Ambrosie is one of the most popular and richest Canadian Football Player who was born on March 16, 1963 in Winnipeg, Canada. Randy Ambrosie, who was born March 16, 1963, is the current Canadian Football League (CFL) commissioner. Ambrosie was an offensive guard in Canadian football for the Calgary Stampeders and Toronto Argonauts of the CFL. The Stampeders selected him with the second overall selection in the 1985 CFL Draft. He played in 142 professional matches and was a Grey Cup winner over the course of his nine-season career. Ambrosie played college football for the University of Manitoba.

For much of 1988, injuries plagued the offensive line of Argonauts. Ambrosie sustained a knee injury during training camp. Other offensive linemen of the Argonauts suffered from ankle, groin and knee injuries. Ambrosie was back in full strength by July. He was still the only healthy offensive line member that year. Despite his setbacks in medical, the Argonauts coaching staff and the media praised Ambrosie’s offensive line. The Toronto Star credited the unit with “establishing Toronto as one the most successful running teams in Canada Football League.” Ambrosie was injured in the back and missed three games in September. He also sustained an ankle injury during October. The offensive line was successful despite the ongoing injury problems. They finished the season with the second-lowest number of sacks in the CFL. Ambrosie completed the regular season with 15 games. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers defeated the Argonauts in the East Final.

By 1992, Ambrosie took over as the secretary of the Canadian Football League Players’ Association (CFLPA). He played a role in monitoring the 1992 NHL strike as the CFLPA and the CFL renegotiated their collective bargaining agreement that year. Ambrosie was also part of the CFLPA board that oversaw the CFL’s expansion into the United States. During the expansion, Ambrosie took a strong stance against lowering the import ratio which requires each team to carry a certain number of Canadian players. He also took issue with a proposed expansion or dispersal draft intended to be held in early 1993 to provide players for the San Antonio Texans and Sacramento Gold Miners. The CFLPA and Ambrosie threatened legal action over the import ratio issue, but no legal action came to pass.

In 1992, Ambrosie played in all regular season games as the Eskimos went 13–5 before losing in the West Finals to the Stampeders for the second consecutive season. The Eskimos considered there to be “no safe jobs” on the roster following several years of playoff losses, but Ambrosie earned a starting role on the team to start the 1993 season. A knee injury kept Ambrosie out of the lineup for most of September, and he finished with 13 games played in 1993. The Eskimos met the Stampeders in the West Final for the fourth consecutive season and won 29–15 to break their playoff losing streak. Ambrosie helped the Eskimos win the 81st Grey Cup over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 33–23 to earn his only championship ring.

Ambrosie, who had played four games in 1987 for the Stampeders, was traded to Toronto Argonauts as a second-round draft selection. Ambrosie quickly earned a spot on the Argonauts roster. He played against the Stampeders his first week after switching between the two teams. Ambrosie was promoted to right guard by the Argonauts. Ambrosie played 13 games for the Argonauts in the final season. He was a key blocker in the 75th Grey Cup that allowed Gill Fenerty, running back, to score a touchdown in the second half. The Argonauts lost the game by 36 to 38.
