The Hamilton Tiger-Cats announced Wednesday that the team has signed National Offensive Lineman Peter Dyakowski to a contract extension through the 2017 CFL season.
“Peter is a team leader, our longest serving player, and a vital member of our organization both on and off the field,” said Tiger-Cats Vice President of Football Operations and Head Coach Kent Austin.
Dyakowski, who will enter his 10th season with the Tiger-Cats in 2016, has appeared in 132 career CFL regular season games.
He has also seen seven playoff games, including two Grey Cup appearances in 2013 and 2014.
The offensive lineman was an Eastern Division All-Star in 2012 and the Tiger-Cats Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman in 2011.
Dyakowski was selected by the Tiger-Cats in the second round, 11th overall, in the 2006 CFL Draft out of Louisiana State University. The Vancouver, B.C. native became the first Canadian-born player to sign a football scholarship at LSU.
