There may not have been a lot of positives from the Toronto Argonauts season but James Yurichuk has provided a bright note.

The Brampton native finished the CFL season on Saturday, Nov. 5, playing in his 144th consecutive game. In eight seasons with the B.C. Lions and the Argos, the St. Thomas Aquinas graduate has never missed a game.

That is the longest current ironman streak in the CFL. A linebacker, Yurichuk is one of the top special teams players in the CFL.

There must be something about Brampton, the NBA’s current Ironman is also from Brampton. Tristan Thompson, a centre and forward for the league champion Cleveland Cavaliers has played in 376 NBA regular-season contests, the longest streak in Cavaliers history.
