Stamps quarterback Dave Dickenson performed the ceremonial tip-off at the University of Calgary’s men basketball game on Saturday as the Dinos faced his alma mater, the University of Montana.

“It was fun to get back into the college scene a little bit,” said Dickenson. “It was great game and I enjoyed seeing how good the Dinos’ program really is. For me it was fun to see the alma mater and connect with some old friends that I went to college with that are now coaching that team.”

Dickenson is a hero at the University of Montana, where he led the Grizzlies to their first-ever NCAA Division 1-AA football championship in 1995. A three-year starter at quarterback, Dickenson won the Walter Payton award as the Division 1-AA outstaning player in 199 and left the Missoula campus with 26 school and seven league records.

He is still the all-time Montana leader in passing touchdowns (96), total yards offence (11,523), passing yards (11,080), passing attempts (1,208) and completions (813).
