CFL commissioner Randy Ambrosie isn’t easing into his new position.

Ambrosie officially began his tenure Monday less than a week after being hired to replace the departed Jeffrey Orridge. His first order of business is reviewing the ejection of Hamilton defensive back Will Hill from the Tiger-Cats’ 37-20 road loss Saturday night to the Saskatchewan Roughriders and deciding upon appropriate discipline.

Hill was ejected for making contact with an official. In the third quarter following a Saskatchewan convert, a visibly upset Hill grabbed the official by his shirt but television replays seemed to show him letting go shortly afterwards.

It’s unclear what happened to irritate Hill, who’s in his first CFL season. During his NFL career with the New York Giants and Baltimore Ravens (2012-15), Hill was suspended four times for testing positive for a banned substance.

Hill received a 10-game ban from the NFL in March 2016 for violating its substance abuse policy and was subsequently released by Baltimore.

Losing Hill would be a big blow for Hamilton (0-2), which is already without 1,000-yard receivers Andy Fantuz and Terrence Toliver, both out with knee injuries.

Last season, Orridge fined Hamilton coach Kent Austin $10,000 and banished him to the spotter’s booth for one game for making contact with an official. It marked the first time in CFL history that the league had disallowed a coach from being on the field with his team for a game.

Austin made contact with official Tom Cesari when he swung his hand in frustration while protesting a call on the field during a game last season. Austin said he had apologized to Cesari, but in his ruling Orridge said he couldn’t overlook that Austin actually made contact with the official on the field.

Also last season, then Montreal receiver Duron Carter received a one-game suspension for bumping Ottawa head coach Rick Campbell during a game. Carter appealed the ban but it was later upheld by an independent arbitrator.

Carter is now with the Riders and have seven catches for 63 yards and a TD versus Hamilton.
