Advertiser Staff

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League have signed former University of Hawai'i quarterback Tim Chang, the team announced on its Web site yesterday.

Hamilton acquired Chang's negotiation rights from the Edmonton Eskimos.

"He's is a guy who did incredible things in college and has had success at the professional level," said Hamilton general manager Marcel Desjardins in a statement. "With Tim's addition, the quarterback position is now a position of strength for our team and will help us achieve success.

"After speaking with Tim on the phone, he conveyed that he's very excited at the opportunity to come to Hamilton and of course we're thrilled to have him here."

Chang, listed as 6 feet 2 and 207 pounds, is the NCAA's all-time leader in passing yards (17,072).

The Saint Louis School alum has had professional experience with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, as well as NFL Europa's Rhein Fire.
