Former CFL Player Millington Taking Time to Relish, Appreciate Hall of Fame Induction
Millington joins 25 other honourees after a 13-season career that included 6,086 rushing yards, 87 touchdowns and two Grey Cup wins.
On Friday night, Sean Millington will be honoured during the Hamilton Tiger-Cats-Montreal Alouettes game at Hamilton Stadium as part of the Canadian Football Hall class.
Throughout a 13-season career spanning 1990 to 2005, Millington played for Edmonton, the B.C. Lions, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and Toronto Argonauts, accumulating 9,322 yards from scrimmage and 87 touchdowns.
A three-time league all-star, Millington won two Grey Cups and holds single-game rushing records for both B.C. and Edmonton; he ranks fourth in CFL history with 176 special-teams tackles.
"I always kind of looked at myself as a journeyman-type player," Millington said, yet called his induction a "massive honour" to be counted among CFL royalty.
Joining Millington in the 2026 class are players Brandon Banks, Charleston Hughes, Jim Evenson, and Calvin Tiggle, alongside builder Frank Ivy, who led Edmonton to three consecutive Grey Cups.
