Shayne Gauthier (born February 20, 1992) is a Canadian professional football linebacker for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He is a two-time Grey Cup champion after winning with the Blue Bombers in 2019 and 2021.
University career
[edit | edit source]Gauthier played CIS football for the Laval Rouge et Or from 2012 to 2015 where he won two Vanier Cup championships in 2012 and 2013.[1]
Professional career
[edit | edit source]Gauthier was drafted 28th overall in the fourth round of the 2016 CFL draft by the Blue Bombers and signed with the team on May 20, 2016.[2] Following training camp, he made the team's active roster and played in his first professional football game on June 24, 2016, against the Montreal Alouettes where he recorded one special teams tackle. Over the course of his career, he has primarily been a special teams player for the Blue Bombers. During the 2019 West Division Final against the Saskatchewan Roughriders, with the Blue Bombers leading 20–13 in the fourth quarter, Gauthier made a shoestring tackle to save a touchdown during a trick punt return. Winnipeg closed out the game by the same score and the Blue Bombers advanced to the 107th Grey Cup.[3] In the Grey Cup game that year, Gauthier recorded one special teams tackle as the Blue Bombers ended a 29-year championship drought in the victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.[4]
On January 8, 2021, Gauthier signed a one-year contract extension to remain with the Blue Bombers.[5]
