Former Calgary Stampeders quarterback Doug Flutie is set to enter the Canadian Football Hall of Fame this weekend in Hamilton.

Widely considered one of the greatest players in Canadian Football League history, Flutie played eight seasons in Canada, including four with the Stamps (1992 to 1995).

He won three Grey Cups (one with Calgary and two with the Toronto Argonauts) and was named the league’s outstanding player six times. He threw for 41,355 career passing yards and 270 touchdowns in the CFL before leaving for Buffalo and the National Football League.

Flutie still holds most Stamps passing records and was added to the club’s Wall of Fame earlier this season with offensive lineman Rocco Romano and defensive back Frank Andruski.

Flutie was named the CFL’s outstanding player three times with the Stampeders (1992-93-94).

He led Calgary to first place in the West Division in all four of his seasons and two Grey Cups, winning in 1992 and losing in 1995.

After winning the Heisman Trophy as the top US college player in 1984, Flutie bounced around the NFL before joining the BC Lions in 1990. He then came to Calgary in 1992, where he helped build the Stamps into a powerhouse. After four illustrious seasons in Red and White, he spent two seasons with the Toronto Argonauts. In 1998, he left for a dazzling chapter in the NFL.

Flutie owns the Stamps all-time records for passing yardage (20,551), touchdown passes (140), attempts (2,382) and completions (1,438). He also owns the single-season marks for passing yardage (6,092 in 1993), touchdown passes (48 in 1994), attempts (703 in 1993) and completions (416 in 1993).

He holds single-game Stampeders records with 556 passing yards (Aug. 6, 1993 at Ottawa), 63 attempts (Aug. 7, 1992 at Saskatchewan) and 37 completions (Oct. 23, 1993 at Saskatchewan) and tied three others with six touchdown passes (July 23, 1994 vs. Winnipeg).

Flutie, 46, now lives in Boston.

He is being honoured this weekend with running backs Michael (Pinball) Clemons and Mike Pringle, as well as offensive lineman John Bonk and builder Tom Shepherd. The five were at Ivor Wynne Stadium on Friday night for the Hall of Fame game between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
