Huskers In The CFL: Interview With Former Nebraska Kicker Brett Maher

The former Huskers kicker is now with the Ottawa Redblacks

Strictly because of the origin of his birth certificate, a certain number of odds were already stacking up against Brett Maher when he arrived in Winnipeg in the summer of 2014.

The CFL’s import ratio rules force teams to be strategic where they dress their Americans. On a game-day roster of 44, no more than 20 players can be of “international” designation. It’s not true in every case, but skill-position roster spots are largely populated by Americans while teams generally like to use roster spots for Canadians at positions like offensive line.
