It came in a 44-16 loss to the Montreal Alouettes, a game which kept Montreal unbeaten (4-0) and snapped a three-game win streak for the Bombers (3-2). But for Hebert, the score and the records didn’t mean as much as his return to the field, after months of legal wrangling involving contracts, waivers, felony and misdemeanor charges and immigration problems. One week ago, it appeared Hebert might have to ride that bike all across the U.S.-Canada border. He spent a week in Grand Forks, N.D., and made a second trip to Los Angeles for an immigration interview after being turned away at the Canadian border on July 3 and 4. That denial stemmed from felony charges in a domestic dispute with his wife in January. Hebert eventually pled guilty to two misdemeanors and paid a $1,200 fine and court costs, but Canadian immigration officials deemed him “a risk to re-offend” despite the fact that several American players with pending felony charges are playing in the CFL. He was finally allowed into the country on July 8, arriving in Winnipeg late that night, and put on a number 23 jersey for the first time with the Bombers last week. Winnipeg picked up Hebert on waivers in April, but Hebert appealed the move because of a pending NFL offer. The parties finally settled on a two-year contract with an option year, prior to his immigration woes. “I put that jersey on, it was like Superman coming out of the phone booth,” Hebert said. “This team’s going to get everything I have. I’m just happy to get all this done, and I’m going to leave it all out there on the field for these guys.” Winnipeg is second in the Eastern Division and is tied for the second-best record in the CFL going into a Thursday 9 p.m. (CDT) contest against the Edmonton Eskimos. “We’ve got a really good team, a really good defense,” Hebert said. “I still believe in all these guys that are surrounding me. We’re going to do a lot of great things for the rest of this season. “I don’t think this one game is going to define this team. I can’t wait to get on the field again and get a chance to redeem ourselves.” Originally published July 18, 2006 Football: Hebert banned from Canada July 09, 2006 – Dan McDonald Kyries Hebert has found the going tough in the Canadian Football League – literally. Hebert was denied entry into Canada last Sunday and again on Monday after being charged with felony domestic abuse last January in Texas. Canadian immigration officials denied his entry into the country, based on what was termed “a risk to re-offend.” Both the Bombers and Hebert are appealing the decision, Hebert through his agent J. R. Rickert and the Winnipeg team through immigration lawyer Ken Zaifman. “I can’t say anything about anything that’s going on,” Hebert said. “I’ve been advised by the lawyers not to comment. I’m sorry.” In January, the 25-year-old former Cajun defensive back and a CFL veteran at roving linebacker faced felony charges after allegedly holding wife Kristina’s head underwater during a bath, threatening her during an argument over a cell phone bill. His wife chose not to take the case to trial, and the three felony charges were reduced to two misdemeanors after plea bargaining. Hebert was fined $1,200 and court costs, and the general consensus was that Hebert would be admitted into the country. Several American players with multiple pending charges, including felonies, have been granted permission to play in the CFL. “Based on some people who have gotten into this country to work, I would hope it can get resolved,” Bombers general manager Brendan Taman told Canada Sportsnet Football Insider. “But I don’t know. It’s really out of our control. It’s in the hands of the government’s people that deal with that, and I can’t say too much about it.” Kristina, in fact, wrote a letter to the Bombers in support of Hebert. The letter was forwarded to Canadian immigration officials. “It was a well-written letter,” Taman said, “so if that doesn’t help, nothing will.” Hebert led the CFL in special teams tackles in 2005 for the Ottawa Renegades, but that team was dissolved and Hebert was not selected in the league’s dispersal draft of players because of doubts about his legal status. Before the team was dissolved, Ottawa had signed Hebert to a five-year contract which would have made him one of the CFL’s highest-paid players. Winnipeg claimed Hebert on waivers, but Hebert asked the Bombers to release him so he could finalize details on signing a free-agent contract with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals. Hebert, who had been on training camp rosters of the Minnesota Vikings and the Houston Texans, finally signed the three-year deal (two years plus an option year) with the Bombers in late June. Taman said if Hebert cannot get into Canada, the Bombers would release him from his contract and he would be free to pursue offers with U.S. leagues. Hebert was a three-year letterman from 1999-2001 with the Ragin’ Cajuns and ranks second all-time in career tackles by a defensive back with 270 in three seasons. He led UL in tackles in each of his three playing seasons and was a two-time All-Louisiana selection. Hebert was a Class 4A All-State selection for Eunice at free safety and helped lead the Bobcats to a 14-1 record and the state finals in his senior year in 1997. Originally published July 9, 2006
