Quick Six Will be at the Grey Cup
November 22, 2012 - Canadian Football League (CFL)
Calgary Stampeders News Release
The Calgary Stampeder Football Club is happy to announce that, after negotiations between the club, the Canadian Football League and officials from the Rogers Centre, the Stampeders touchdown horse will be in attendance at Sunday's Grey Cup in Toronto.
In addition to the horse, rider Karyn Drake will also be on site as the Stampeders face the Toronto Argonauts in the 100th edition of the Grey Cup.
"This is fabulous news and the Calgary Stampeder Football Club would like to thank the Rogers Centre, the Canadian Football League and the Grey Cup committee for allowing this great tradition to continue," said Stampeders president/COO Lyle Bauer. "This is very important to our fans and it is only fitting that the horse would be present to mark the occasion of the 100th Grey Cup and celebrate the tradition of the Grey Cup festivities that started with Stampeders fans in 1948."
While logistics of the venue will not permit Quick Six to race down the sidelines after a Stampeders major, the horse will be visible during the game as a symbol of one of the team's greatest traditions.
Stampeders season tickets are on sale now for the 2013 season. For more information, visit Stampeders.com or call 403-289-0258 to speak with a customer service representative.
