Vincent L. Mazza (March 25, 1925 – December 5, 1993) was an all-star Canadian football player. He was a two-way player, playing offensive and defensive line , and sometimes tight end .
Mazza did not attend college, but went directly to the pro leagues from Trott Vocational High School . He played for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League (NFL) for six games in 1945 and 1946. He moved to the up-start All-America Football Conference (AAFC) in 1947, with the Buffalo Bills . He played three years (1947–1949) there, mostly as a lineman, catching two passes and making one interception , and returning a lateral pass for a touchdown . He played in their 1948 championship loss to the Cleveland Browns .
He was recruited by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Interprovincial Rugby Football Union , and played five seasons with them (1950–1954). He was an all-star as an end from 1950 to 1952, was a double all-star in 1953 (both offense and defense) and was an offensive line all-star in 1954. He won both the Grey Cup and the Jeff Russel Memorial Trophy as best player in the East in 1952.
Vince settled in Winona, Ontario , and continued in the game as the color man for CHML radio for the Tiger-Cat games. He was often seen at the Winona High School football practices helping to develop young athletes.
