Welcome to the official website for the Tiger-Cats Bus!
In August 2007 Mr. Chris Ecklund donated his motorcoach to the Hamilton Tiger Cats football team. Beautiful new decals were applied to the entire body of the coach, which was the last of its kind, having the end run of the free-breathing torque monster diesel engines. The gift was gratefully received by the team.
The owner of the location where the future Ti-Cats vehicle was being prepared for its new purpose kept saying, "Wow... awesome... spectacular. Chris, wait til you see it." When he did see it, Mr. Ecklund would barely contain his pride in his August 24 blog post: "This is a big, no HUGE day for Hamilton, not just the Tiger-Cats, but for each and every citizen of this great City of ours.... When you see the bus, give the driver a wave and a smile, and stand straight and proud, for we are making history here folks, the rest of Canada and the world can take notice that Hamiltonians live in the best City to be found, and we are proud of that fact."
He added, "This is my gift to you each and every citizen can take pride in this new bus."
