FORMER Winnipeg Blue Bomber Doug MacIver, 58, died early Thursday morning.

MacIver played on the Bombers’ defensive line from 1982-1984 and was part of the 1984 Grey Cup championship team.

“The entire Blue Bomber organization is saddened by the news of Doug’s passing. As a member of our 1984 Grey Cup team, he will always be remembered as a champion in the city of Winnipeg. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family,” the Blue Bombers organization said in a statement.

MacIver’s CFL career began in Toronto where he played for the Argonauts from 1976-1978. He recorded his only career touchdown in his rookie season with Toronto on a fumble recovery.

After the Argonauts released him, he played from 1979-81 for the Saskatchewan Roughriders before being traded to the Blue Bombers.
