Kenneth Charles "Ken" Hobart (born January 27, 1961) is a former all-star quarterback in the CFL, playing in Canada from 1985-90.
Hobart played college football at the University of Idaho from 1981-83, the final two seasons for the Vandals under new head coach Dennis Erickson.[2] Hailing from tiny Kamiah, Idaho, he was nicknamed the "Kamiah Kid," and also competed for the track and field team in the decathlon; he still ranks as one of the top decathletes in the school's history. Hobart graduated in 1984 with a degree in management.[3]
Hobart started his professional football career in 1984 with the Jacksonville Bulls of the USFL, then moved to Canada in 1985. He played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Ottawa Rough Riders; he led the Tiger-Cats to a Grey Cup championship in 1986.
He now resides in Lewiston, with his wife and their three children.
