The Calgary Stampeders have completed a trade with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, acquiring non-import receiver Simon Charbonneau-Campeau in exchange for non-import receiver Spencer Armstrong.

Charbonneau-Campeau played 27 games over two seasons with Hamilton, making a total of nine catches for 115 yards. He made two starts in 2013 including a July 7 game against Edmonton in which he had a career-high five receptions for 63 yards.

The six-foot-four native of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., is a former Universite de Sherbrooke star who was selected in the fourth round (25th overall) by Hamilton in the 2012 CFL Canadian Draft. He played four seasons at Sherbrooke and finished his career as the school's all-time leader in receptions (138) and receiving yards (2,477).

"Simon has great size and ability and will add to the depth of our Canadian receiving corps," said Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel. "I look forward to seeing him in action when he reports to training camp."

Armstrong, a fourth-round selection by Calgary in 2009, joined the Stampeders in 2013 after fulfilling his commitments to the U.S. Air Force. He dressed for one contest and did not record any stats.

Stampeders season tickets are on sale now for the 2014 season. For more information, visit Stampeders.com or call 403-289-0258 to speak with a customer service representative.
