(Calgary) - In conjunction with the Canadian Football League, the Calgary Stampeder Football Club announced that Kicker Sandro DeAngelis was named the 2006 CFL Outstanding Special Teams Player. DeAngelis was able to capture 37 first place ballots on route to capturing his first John Argo Award.

Players were selected by a panel comprised of members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC), representing eight CFL markets and a national chapter. Voters were asked to select players from the League who through on-field performance and excellence, best represented the awards' title.

Here is a closer look at DeAngelis' season with the Stampeders:

SANDRO DEANGELIS - CFL OUTSTANDING SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER

In a record breaking season DeAngelis showed tremendous poise this past year throughout each week. DeAngelis was named the Rogers Player of the Week four times this season (week 3, 4, 9 and 15) and Rogers Player of the Month for July. He ended the season leading the entire CFL with 214 points (fourth All-Time in Stampeder history).

He also entered the Stampeder record books connecting on 56 field goals breaking Mark McLoughlin's mark of 54. The mark was also third All-Time in CFL history, tying Roman Anderson (S.A.) mark back in 1995.

He finished the season connecting on 56 of 65 field goal attempts, one of which was from 53 yards out (CFL high this season). DeAngelis also lead the league in kick-off yards with 4,762.
