Rob Maver (born March 12, 1986) is a Canadian former professionalfootballpunter who played his entire 10-year career with theCalgary Stampeders of theCanadian Football League (CFL).[1] He was drafted fifth overall by the Stampeders in the2010 CFL draft, after being highly ranked by the CFL's Amateur Scouting Bureau. He playedCIS football for theGuelph Gryphons. He playedhigh school football forTurner Fenton Trojans.
Maver attendedUniversity of Guelph where he played university football for theGuelph Gryphons as the team'splacekicker andpunter from 2006-2009. He earnedOUA All-star honours for both positions for the2009 season. Maver also played in the 2009 CIS East-West game and finished in eighth place on the CIS all-time field goals list with 54.[2]
After his university career, Maver was the onlyplacekicker invited to theCFL Evaluation Camp (Grant Shaw was invited as adefensive back). Maver was the sixth ranked player in theCanadian Football League’s Amateur Scouting Bureau rankings for players eligible in the2010 CFL draft.[3] With their kickers departing their teams after the2009 CFL season, theCalgary Stampeders,Hamilton Tiger-Cats, andToronto Argonauts were said to be looking for a replacement kicker, possibly found in the draft. As such, the Calgary Stampeders had to use their early draft pick to select Maver fifth overall before the other two teams could do so.[4]
On May 13, 2010, it was announced that Maver had signed a contract with theCalgary Stampeders.[5]
