"I congratulate Reggie on this very well-deserved honour," said Stampeders president Jay McNeil, who was a two-time winner of the Presidents' Ring during his playing career. "He is an all-star performer on the field and an excellent ambassador for the team in the community. The players have made an excellent choice."
Begelton, in his seventh season with the Red and White, expressed his gratitude to his teammates for bestowing the honour upon him.
"Thank you all so much," he said. "I am truly honoured to be recognized by my peers with this award. Consistency is something I hold dear - I believe it has the power to elevate us to new heights in life. If you remain persistent, you will achieve your goals, but it is consistency that ensures you hold on to them.
"I'm grateful for this acknowledgment and excited to continue striving for excellence alongside all of you. Thank you."
Begelton is having another standout season with the Stampeders as he leads the club with 85 catches and 1,073 receiving yards and is among the Canadian Football League leaders in both categories (third in in yards and tied for third in catches). Begelton has four touchdown grabs and has extended his streak of games with at least one reception to 68, the sixth-longest such run in franchise history.
Begelton's play and work ethic are a shining example for the team's young receivers and he is also a familiar sight in the community. He was the 2023 winner of the Herm Harrison Memorial Award for his community service and was frequent participant in numerous team events again this year including regular visits to the Alberta Children's Hospital.
