Calgary Stampeders News Release
It is with great sadness the Calgary Stampeders learn of the death of Lyle Bauer, who served as team president and chief operating officer from 2010 to 2012. He was 65.
"I greatly enjoyed working with Lyle, both as a teammate and in management," said Stampeders special advisor John Hufnagel, who played with Bauer as a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and was Calgary's general manager and head coach during the time Bauer served as team president. "He was excellent in both roles and he was a great friend. On behalf of the Stampeders organization, I offer condolences to Lyle's wife Heidi and their children as well as to all other members of his family and his many friends."
A Saskatoon native and Weber State alumnus, Bauer was a standout offensive lineman for a decade with the Blue Bombers. He spent another 10 years as Winnipeg's president and is a member of the Blue Bombers Hall of Fame. Bauer won three Grey Cup rings during his playing career.
After being stricken by cancer in 2004, Bauer founded the Never Alone Foundation to help others in their battle with the disease.
