Matthias Goossen (born October 14, 1992) is a Canadian former professional football centre who played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL). Prior to being drafted into the CFL, he played college football for the Simon Fraser Clan.
As a freshman at Simon Fraser, Goossen was part of Clan’s inaugural season in the NCAA. He served as a captain in his last two years of college, and was named a first-team GNAC all star three times.[1][2]
