Defensive tackle Steve Charbonneau, who played at the University of New Hampshire, retired last week after spending 11 seasons in the Canadian Football League.
"I've have had a lot of fun throughout my football career, but, at 34, I think it's time for me to move on," Charbonneau said.
Charbonneau played for the Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Eskimos during his professional career. He helped Edmonton win the Grey Cup in 2003 and 2005. He began his career with Montreal, but was released in 2002 after he refused to take a pay cut.
Earlier this month former UNH defensive back Etienne Boulay left the Alouettes to sign a reserve/future contract with the New York Jets.
Montreal selected Boulay in the second round of the 2006 CFL draft. In two CFL seasons he recorded 41 tackles (24 solo) and five interceptions.
Boulay, a Montreal native, made 223 tackles and intercepted 13 passes during his four-year career at UNH.
