When Dave Dickenson became a BC Lion because the circus management in Calgary at the time didn`t want to sign him, he did one thing before leaving--he never sold his house. After announcing his retirement from the CFL this past Winter, many speculated he would return to the game in a coaching role.
The Stampeders are happy to announce Dave Dickenson as an offensive assistant under head coach John Hufnagel. George Cortez is the team's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. (more...)

The Calgary Stampeders have announced that quarterback Dave Dickenson has retired after 11 seasons in the CFL. Dickenson, 36, had his career cut short by concussion problems in recent years and only attempted just nine passes with the Stamps this past year.
Dickenson was named the league's most outstanding player in 2000 and won three Grey Cups in his career, being named championship game MVP in 2005. He passed for 22,913 yards and 154 touchdowns with 50 interceptions in a career spent with the Stampeders and the B.C. Lions. He completed 66.9 per cent of his passes, which puts him first on the all-time CFL list for retired players.
