In their first preseason encounter, the Argonauts defeated the Tiger-Cats 20-10. The game showcased some impressive performances, particularly from Sam Hicks, who scored two touchdowns for Toronto. Hicks ran for 25 yards on five carries, finding the end zone with a nine-yard run in the third quarter and a four-yard scamper in the fourth.

On the other side, Larry Rountree III opened the scoring for Hamilton with a 46-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Rountree, who previously played for the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers and the UFL-champion Birmingham Stallions, finished the game with a game-high 86 rushing yards on nine carries. However, the Tiger-Cats struggled with penalties, racking up 11 flags for 144 yards, which hindered their offensive momentum.
Quarterback battles: Arbuckle vs. Dolegala
As the Argonauts prepare for their second preseason game, they will start Nick Arbuckle at quarterback. Arbuckle’s performance will be crucial, especially if Chad Kelly is unavailable. Kelly, who made his first start since suffering a leg injury in the 2024 East Division final, completed three of seven passes for 29 yards and rushed for 24 yards in the first game. Arbuckle will need to build on the momentum from the previous game and showcase his skills as a reliable starter.
For the Tiger-Cats, Jake Dolegala will take the reins as the starting quarterback. Dolegala had a rough outing in the first preseason game, completing only five of 14 passes for 61 yards and throwing an interception. The 29-year-old, who joined the Tiger-Cats after stints with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, B.C. Lions, and Winnipeg Blue Bombers, will be looking to improve his performance and lead his team to a better showing against the Argonauts.
Final thoughts
As the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats prepare to face off in their final preseason game, fans can expect an exciting matchup filled with intensity and determination. With both teams looking to make a statement, this game will serve as a critical stepping stone toward the regular season. The Argonauts will aim to build on their previous victory, while the Tiger-Cats will be eager to bounce back and showcase their potential.
