Ted joined the Bombers after spending the previous four seasons with the Toronto Argonauts. During his time in Toronto, he held the dual role of Running Backs Coach and the Director of Canadian Scouting. Goveia played a crucial role in helping the Argonauts rebuild and win the 2012 Grey Cup. The Argonauts promoted him to Director of Player Personnel in 2012 and would finish the 2013 regular season in first place before losing the Eastern Final to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. In Toronto, Ted was heavily involved in the Canadian Draft as well as negotiating contracts and scouting across Canada and the United States.
Before joining the CFL in 2010, Goveia spent 15 years coaching football at the Canadian University level.
Goveia began his University career coaching at his alma mater, Mount Allison University, helping them reach the AUS Finals in back-to-back seasons and winning the Jewett Cup in 1997. Goveia later joined the McMaster Marauders in 2003 as Recruiting Coordinator and Special Teams Coordinator.
