the tradition started about 7 years ago when Ted Hellard lost a bet with a member of our board and bought our membership a pregame meal at Nick's.
Since then each incoming president has reached out to us to continue the tradition.
The Stampedes have been very good to our board and the fanbase as a whole.
In our 3rd year the Stamps accredited us and even got us Grey Cup Media Accreditation, so we were able to get our show host into the winning locker room to get exclusive comments. We are actually part of the Calgary media thanks to the Stamps.
We've had a ton of players appear on our pod cast, some have come on multiple times. When Ted left the organization he gave us an exclusive interview. We had Nik Lewis on twice and he was awesome as well.
Last year they stepped it up even more and Huff offered to be on the podcast, we had a good two hour interview with him. This year because the Fan Forum was cancelled, DD offered to come on our show.
Every year for the past 4 years, Huff meets up with the owners of our site to talk about the relationship.
Its been an awesome ride for us, and the Stamps have made it more then a website with a forum attached.
