The Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos have teamed up to honour the memories of the four teenagers killed and one teen critically injured in Saturday’s car accident near Grande Prairie, Alta.
Matthew Deller, 16, Tanner Hildebrand, 15, Vincent Stover, 16, and Walter Borden-Wilkins, 15, died in the crash, while Zachary Judd, 15, remains in critical but stable condition in an Edmonton hospital.
Stampeders and Eskimos players will wear special helmet decals with the logo of the Grande Prairie Warriors football team for the rest of the 2011 regular season. The Stampeders are in Montreal to face the Alouettes on Sunday and the Eskimos visit the BC Lions in Vancouver on Saturday.
“This tragedy has affected so many people in the football community and beyond,” said Lyle Bauer, president and COO of the Stampeders, who made the announcement jointly with Eskimos president and CEO Rick LeLacheur. “We’re pleased to team up with the Eskimos and do our part to pay tribute to Matthew, Tanner, Vincent and Walter and their families. We also want to send our best wishes for a full recovery to Zachary.”
