Legacy Night
It’s Legacy Night and fans are encouraged to wear retro jerseys and team gear for a chance to win prizes and throwback songs will be played throughout the game!
As part of the Legacy Night theme, we’re acknowledging three Stamps who who will officially be inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 20 – Dave Dickenson, Eddie Davis and Bob O’Billovich.
Dickenson, the former quarterback who is now Calgary’s offensive coordinator and assistant head coach, spent 11 seasons in the CFL including six with the Stampeders. A potent combination of intelligence, athletic ability and courage, Dickenson set a number of CFL passing records and was named the league’s Most Outstanding Player in 2000 after throwing for 4,636 yards, 36 touchdowns and only six interceptions while guiding the Stampeders to a 12-5-1 record.
Davis became a member of the Stamps in 1996 and remained with the Red and White through the 2000 campaign. He was part of the Stamps’ Grey Cup-championship squad in 1998 and was a CFL all-star in 2000. Davis was a five-time division all-star and played 18 playoff games and three Grey Cup contests during his career.
O’Billovich retired in 2013 after a 50-year career in the CFL. His three years with the Stamps as assistant general manager included a Grey Cup title in 2001. He also won a championship as an assistant coach with the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1976, as a head coach with the Toronto Argonauts in 1983 and as BC’s player-personnel director in 2006.
