It didn’t take Canadian linebacker Terrence Ganyi much time to find a new home, as he signed with the Calgary Stampeders on Monday.

The six-foot, 218-pound defender dressed for 36 regular-season games over three seasons with the B.C. Lions, making 15 special teams tackles. He was cut by the team on Thursday.

The 27-year-old native of Montreal was a sixth-round pick in the 2024 CFL Draft out of the University of Maine. He spent two seasons with the Black Bears, recording 12 tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss.

Ganyi previously played at the University of Connecticut, where he made 13 tackles and one kickoff return for five yards.

The Calgary Stampeders (1-2) will host the Toronto Argonauts (2-1) at McMahon Stadium on Thursday, July 2 with kickoff scheduled for 9:00 p.m. EDT. The Argonauts are coming off a 40-34 upset victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders, while the Stampeders beat the B.C. Lions in Kelowna by a score of 41-33.

The weather forecast in Calgary calls for a high of 19 degrees and a 40 percent chance of rain. The game will be broadcast on TSN in Canada, CBS Sports Network in the United States, and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune in on TSN 1050 in Toronto or 770 CHQR in Calgary.
