Editorial Reviews

Its the one professional sport that we have left that we can say is purely Canadian. Its the only one! Ron Lancaster This collectors Stampeders Special Edition, produced from the nationally-televised CFL Traditions series, combines rarely seen action footage with candid interviews of Calgary greats such as Wally Buono, Tom Forzani, Doug Flutie, and Wayne Harris to create an engaging portrait of the wily team that transformed the Grey Cup into a national celebration. CFL Traditions then tackles the life and history of the Canadian Football League with Origins  A Game is Born. Using never before seen archival footage and testimony from the sports living heroes, Origins traces the game from its hardscrabble roots in the mid-1800s through to the flash and dash of todays gridiron greats. As a special extra, Stampeders Uncut has also been included, featuring additional interviews with Stampeder alumni, and much, much more.
