Calgary celebrates its champions


Thousands of supporters Stampeders responded to the invitation of Mayor Dave Bronconnier and celebrated winning the Cup Gray Olympic Plaza in downtown Calgary, Tuesday noon. The Stampeders beat the Alouettes 22-14 on Sunday at Olympic Stadium in Montreal to win the sixth Gray Cup in their history, the first since 2001. The event show drew about 10 000 supporters. They gave a welcome to watch Henry Burris, player par excellence of the final, and kicker Sandro DeAngelis, better Canadian game. They were also able to get autographs of their favorite players. The victory Stampeders creates a lot of enthusiasm for the presentation of the Gray Cup in Calgary in 2009. The clerks at the counters are overworked because the Stampeders supporters want to buy their tickets immediately.
