Marc Liegghio's current streak of 25 made field goals has set the Hamilton team record for most consecutive field goals!

The record was set at 24 by Luca Congi in 2012.

Congratulations Marc!

Alexandre Gagné has just made his 7th Special Teams tackle of the night, tying the league record for the most in a single game. That also sets a new franchise record.

Not bad for a backup long snapper!

Brett Lauther & Sergio Castillo usually kick from 8 yards back.

When he was in Winnipeg, Marc Liegghio kicked from 7½ yards back.

Josh Green with a huge 59-yard punt that forces Turner to backpedal inside his own 15-yard line.

He eventually gets 5 yards on the return before being pushed out of bounds by Thomas at the 16-yard line. An illegal block on Toronto will push this back inside the 10.

Maximuik with a huge 72-yard kickoff here, forcing Turner Jr. to field it inside the 10-yard line.

Turner fakes left, then breaks off to the right, recording 39 yards on the return before being pushed out of bounds by Nitychoruk at the 47-yard line.

Lirim Hajrullahu's 38-yard field goal attempt is GOOD!

Haggerty gets 55 yards on this punt, sending the ball back into Hamilton territory where Brooks fields it at his own 35-yard line.

He tries to wrap outside, but the Toronto Coverage Team does a great job at sealing the edge, and Slywka brings him down after a 1-yard gain

Eric Maximuik makes his first PAT of the game from 33 yards out, a yard further back than what we usually see on a convert attempt.

Turner Jr. fields a punt at his 6-yard line, slips past Hamilton's first wave, and finds a crease to the outside.

He breaks a tackle and delivers a stiff arm to McDonald, but McDonald trips him up after a 25-yard return. The play is negated by a holding penalty.

Green punts, and Turner watches it bounce to the 30-yard line.

The ball rolls inside the 10, and Turner prematurely tries to pick it up.

This negates the 5-yard halo rule, allowing Hamilton's Bagayogo to tackle him at the 1-yard line.

Josh Green sends this punt 47 yards downfield to Deonte McMahon, who can't seem to find a lane. He's wrapped up by Wilborn at his own 11-yard line after just 3 yards on the return.

A nice job by the Hamilton Coverage Team means Green will net 43 yards on this punt.

John Haggerty with his first punt of the PS, going directly into strong wind.

Wooden picks it up and squeezes his way through a group of would-be tacklers. He cuts outside and throws up a nasty stiff arm before finally being pushed out of bounds by Cassar around midfield

As promised, I’ll be posting highlights from Week 3 of the CFL preseason throughout the day.

Once all the roster moves are finalized, I’ll put something together breaking them down. Probably later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Hope you enjoy the clips!
