Dave Dickenson Added to Coaching Staff
May 1, 2009 Categories: Signings · No Comments
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. Keep reading →
Old John Hufnagel Coach of the Year 2008
March 5, 2009 Categories: Stampeders News · No Comments
A professional winning attitude, great players, and a dash of good coaching, capped off the Calgary Stampeders winning season with Coach John Hufnagel's award for Coach of the Year. Coach Huf took a Calgary team that showed glimpses of greatness in the past two seasons, and glimpses of mediocrity for what seemed like the entire 2000's, to win the Grey Cup in his first CFL head coaching season.
Props to Coach Huf, his staff of coaches, and to the Stamps. We can only expect more of the same this upcoming year, plus the game is at home. The bar has been set, let's hope the team can deliver again.

The 2009 Grey Cup ticket prices, to be held in Calgary next November, were released . Somewhat comparable to other Grey Cup events (Montreal had cheaper tickets but they also had 25000 more seats) the ticket prices in some cases have increased 300%.
The average fan has been cut off, no doubt, but the team will have no trouble filling the stadium especially if the home team favorites make it again.

Finishes Where he Began
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.
