Argonauts defensive end Andrew Chatfield Jr. leading CFL in sacks
TORONTO – Defensive end Andrew Chatfield Jr. has been a bright light in what's been a tough start for the Toronto Argonauts. Chatfield has posted a CFL-leading five sacks for Toronto (1-4), which acquired the 26-year-old Florida native from the Ottawa Redblacks on Feb. 10 for defensive back Craig James. The six-foot-two, 254-pound Chatfield anchors an Argos defensive front that has recorded a league-high 14 sacks, a commendable accomplishment for a unit that's minus seven starters from last year's Grey Cup-winning squad. Toronto learned about Chatfield through defensive line coach Greg Marshall, who held the same post last season with Ottawa. The recommendation from Marshall, a former all-star CFL defensive lineman and longtime league coach, spoke volumes about a player who had suited up for just one game with the Redblacks. 'I saw it (trade to Toronto) as a big opportunity, to be honest,' said Chatfield. 'Coach Marshall is a great coach and I saw a lot of defensive ends had left and I just thought this might be my time to show what I've got. 'In Ottawa I came in midseason and they'd already had their guys. Coach Marshall obviously saw something special in me when I came in, he got me over here and it's been good ever since.' Toronto also boasted the CFL's top pass rush last season (48 sacks) with Jake Ceresna (now with Edmonton) and Ralph Holley (Cleveland, NFL) finishing in a five-way tie for the league lead with eight apiece. But the Argos were also second overall in turnovers forced (39), rushing yards allowed (85.1 yards per game), tied for second in fumble recoveries (20), fourth in net offensive yards (361.9) and fifth in offensive points allowed (24.5). So far this year, Toronto stands tied for seventh in touchdown passes allowed (eight), eighth in offensive points (27.8 per game), turnovers forced (five), interceptions (three), net offensive yards (370.6) and rushing yards (124.8) and last in 30-plus yard plays allowed (13). The Argos are third against the pass (261.4 yards) but that could be attributed to teams being able to run against them. However, Toronto hasn't consistently played complimentary football either. The offence is ranked last in net yards (316.6 per game) and seventh in offensive points (22,0) while the Argos special teams are last in average punt return (15.4 yards) and kickoff return (30.9 yards) allowed. Last week, Hamilton's Isaiah Wooden Sr. accumulated 259 net return yards in the Ticats' 51-38 road win over Toronto. He returned four punts for 98 yards and five kickoffs for 161 yards, including an 86-yard TD. And on June 20, Mario Alford's 99-yard kickoff return TD with nine seconds remaining rallied the Saskatchewan Roughriders past Toronto 39-32 at BMO Field. The Argos are currently on a bye week and will resume their season July 17 visiting Montreal. In addition to leading Toronto in sacks, Chatfield stands third in tackles (20) behind linebackers Cameron Judge (31 total tackles) and Isaac Darkangelo (23). 'Not really,' Toronto head coach Ryan Dinwiddie said regarding whether Chatfield has been a surprise this season. 'Greg Marshall had him in Ottawa and was very impressed by him so we got him on our radar, we thought he'd be a good player. 'Obviously the start of the season has been pretty spectacular but we have to keep it up. I think he's going to be a good player in this league.' Like many Americans who venture north, Chatfield has had to get used to playing Canadian football, which includes lining up a yard off the line of scrimmage. But Chatfield — who played collegiately at Florida and Oregon State — said the extra space has proved beneficial. 'When I get into my stance, I'm like 'Wow, this is helping me a bit,' because I can see more,' he said. 'But I don't think about it, football is football.

Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. 'The guy in front of you is the guy in front of you. My main and biggest focus is getting off on the ball, making sure that yard isn't even close.' Chatfield also feels his game is ideally suited for Canada. 'I can see in the CFL that pass rushing is a huge need,' he said. 'I feel that's where I can fit because I know I'm a good pass rusher. 'I know that's where my strength is.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 8, 2025.

Abbie Chatfield opens up about X-rated act while on holiday
Don't miss out on the headlines from Sex. Followed categories will be added to My News. One of Australia's most well known media personalities has revealed one X-rated thing she is looking forward to on her upcoming trip to Europe. Abbie Chatfield is currently holidaying in Europe with her boyfriend Adam Hyde, one half of Peking Duk, in honour of her 30th birthday. But, during an Ask Me Anything on her popular Listnr podcast It's A Lot, she revealed one thing she was really excited about ahead of the trip. 'For those of you who don't know, I went to a sex club in Sydney with my friends and I walked in, and the girl behind the bar goes, 'It's Abbie Chatfield,' Chatfield said on the podcast. Abbie Chatfield has spoken about an X-rated thing she is looking forward to on her trip. Picture: Instagram Being recognised soured the experience for the 30-year-old, who was in lingerie at the time, and therefore she did not partake in any of the activities at the venue. 'I felt deeply uncomfortable and anxious the entire time, people were coming up to me and recognising me — no one's allowed phones so it was actually worse,' she said. Chatfield added she and Hyde, who also performs under the name Keli Holiday, have been monogamous throughout their relationship — and will likely continue to do so. But, the trip to Europe allows them to explore their sexuality as a couple without being recognised. 'I've been gagging for a threesome,' Chatfield said bluntly. 'I've been gagging to f*** a woman, you know I'm a bisexual girly pop. But we haven't been able to — like, in Australia, who are we going to have a threesome with?' Chatfield said there was a difference between her sharing her sex life publicly, and others talking about her sex life. She also expressed that she enjoys the idea of watching Hyde have sex with another woman. Chatfield has been open about her bisexuality. Picture: Instagram Chatfield with boyfriend Adam Hyde. Picture: Instagram 'The shame kink is only in the moment, not once it's over,' she said. She said the couple have spoken a lot about experiencing a sex club in Europe, including their boundaries and what they are willing to do. 'I think on the first time we go, we should go and agree to only f*** each other and not touch anyone else,' she said. She said the next time they go to a sex club, they will talk more about what they would be willing to do outside of their relationship. Chatfield expressed that she only wanted to have sexual relationships outside of Hyde with a woman — she said she didn't want to make any other men happy. 'No men I meet in a sex club will ever respect me as much as Adam — and I've never really been into random hook ups,' she said.

Abbie Chatfield addresses federal election controversy and Anthony Albanese posts
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Abbie Chatfield has addressed the controversies that erupted following her decision to speak out ahead of this year's federal election — and how she is 'often a scapegoat' to the 'demeaning' and 'deeply damaging' effects of being targeted by fellow feminists and far-right trolls. Chatfield used her platform to speak out about politics and the recent federal election in May. An Australian Electoral Commission inquiry was raised after collaborative social media posts between Chatfield and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, as well as former Greens leader Adam Bandt, were queried by Liberal Senator Jane Hume. The AEC ultimately concluded that Chatfield's posts did not require authorisation under electoral law. Listen to the full interview with Abbie Chatfield on Something To Talk About: Speaking to the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, Chatfield said: 'The AEC stuff was a whole other level of, I believe, discrediting smaller voices, but also discrediting outspoken young women'. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar Abbie Chatfield is on the cover of today's Stellar. Picture: Steven Chee for Stellar 'It seems that when women do more than one thing, they're deemed as inept at all the things they do,' Chatfield told Something To Talk About, in a new episode released today. 'But when men do more than one thing it's like, wow, he's a footy player and he can read an autocue. 'The AEC thing made me feel really targeted. I feel I'm often a scapegoat because of how the media portrays me as being the spokesperson on things, and they go, 'Oh, she's talking again…'' Chatfield also addressed recent criticisms lobbed at her by prominent writer and feminist Clementine Ford, who accused her of 'profiting from the performance of being politically engaged' following an interview that Chatfield conducted with Albanese on her podcast. Abbie Chatfield has addressed her recent controversies in a new interview with Stellar. Picture: NCA NewsWire / David Clark 'I feel like I'm in the middle of stories like that all the time. So it's kind of, unfortunately, my norm,' Chatfield told Something To Talk About. 'But it's never enjoyable or pleasant. This idea that because I'm not doing things perfectly, that I'm an idiotic narcissist, I don't know anything, I'm brain dead, I'm a deeply basic thinker – they're just insults. 'It's not actually critiquing my work. For more from Abbie Chatfield, listen to the full interview on Something To Talk About: 'It was really hurtful because then after that, the right-wing comments came in saying, 'Nothing better than a cat fight. Two feminists fighting. You can't even agree with each other!' 'And it's very demeaning. And that isn't Clementine's fault, but it is something that she should have considered, and that I have considered when I haven't called her out for things that I would say are deeply damaging.' In the Stellar cover story and podcast episode released today, Chatfield also opens up about her personal life and relationship with boyfriend Adam Hyde, and why she is in a better place when it comes to her life outside of work She issues a warning to women, saying they 'shouldn't date Trump supporters'.

Hurricanes' Chatfield, Walker, Jarvis have no surgery plans for injuries after playoff run
RALEIGH, N.C. — Carolina Hurricanes players Jalen Chatfield, Sean Walker and Seth Jarvis said Friday they don't plan to have surgery for injuries after the team's playoff run to the Eastern Conference final. Chatfield missed Carolina's last six games with what the defenseman described as a hip injury, while fellow blue-liner Walker was dealing with an aggravation of a shoulder injury. As for Jarvis, the team's leader in regular-season goals and postseason points, the forward said he plans to work on strengthening and rehabbing a lingering right-shoulder issue for the second straight offseason. Carolina is the only NHL team with an active streak of winning at least one postseason series for seven straight years, with this year's five-game loss to the reigning Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers marking a third trip to the Eastern final in that span. Chatfield had missed the closeout game of the second-round series against Washington and then the entire Florida series. The team had never specified the nature of Chatfield's injury, which became a common question for coach Rod Brind'Amour, and he said he should be fine with extra rehab time. 'Just something in the hip,' Chatfield said during Friday's end-of-year player interviews. 'It's hard when you get that, trying to skate through that. I just couldn't even get to that speed where I would even be capable of even helping the team on the ice. 'I was able to get back on the ice before the last game and hopefully it was going to be another game or two before I could return. I was super close, for sure.' Chatfield typically held a second-pairing spot with Dmitry Orlov before his absence, and he scored Carolina's first postseason goal just 2:24 into the opener against New Jersey. Brind'Amour at one point called Chatfield 'day to day' in the most optimistic update during his absence. 'Making it as far as we did and being able to play against Florida, it was tough watching,' Chatfield said. The impact of Chatfield's absence compounded when Walker missed the last three games of the Florida series, his last appearance coming in Game 2 after taking a jarring open-ice hit from A.J. Greer and eventually exiting early. At that point, Carolina was down two of its top six defensemen and playing rookies Alexander Nikishin and Scott Morrow with its season on the brink. Walker said he had suffered a minor shoulder injury late in the regular season that was improving through the postseason before the Greer hit 'set me back pretty significantly.' He said he was hoping to return if Carolina advanced to the Stanley Cup Final, but didn't need surgery. Then there's Jarvis, who led Carolina with 10 assists and 16 points in 15 playoff games after tallying a team-best 32 goals in 73 regular-season games. Surgery had been a possibility last year, though he has focused on rehab and strengthening his shoulder. 'We loved where it was at the start of the season, in terms of the health of it and the strength and everything,' Jarvis said. 'Early on it kind of started to slip a little bit, and then kind of re-tore all the work we did on it and all the strength and everything we did. So just dealing with it again wasn't too bad, kind of the same thing as last year.' Jarvis described the injury as creating more of an issue of pain tolerance than inhibiting on-ice activity — 'I mean, the only difference would be I'd probably be able to throw a real nice spiral,' Jarvis said of surgery — while the protective brace he returned to during the season might prevent him from reaching up to catch a puck, for example. He played all 15 of Carolina's postseason games, scoring the tying goal in the third period of Game 5 against Florida in what turned out to be the Hurricanes' last of the season. Jarvis said aspirations of potentially playing at the 2026 Olympics were also 'a little bit' of a factor in not having surgery, calling the Milan-Cortina Games 'definitely a big goal of mine.' The 23-year-old helped Canada win the first 4 Nations Face-Off in February. 'This summer, we were dancing around the idea of what to do with it,' Jarvis said. 'The season's gone pretty late, I don't want to miss a lot of time. So I'm going to go with the same protocol as last summer of strengthen it, rehab it. Hopefully maybe wear the brace from the very beginning of the year, and then go from there.'
