The Calgary Stampeders have signed Canadian offensive lineman Hunter Steward.
The 33-year-old native of Calgary, Alta. dressed for 16 regular-season games as a member of the Edmonton Elks in 2024. He had a stint on the practice roster with the B.C. Lions earlier this year but didn’t dress for any regular-season games.
The six-foot-five, 315-pound blocker was originally a first-round pick in the 2013 CFL Draft out of Liberty University. He signed with B.C. the following year and played seven seasons in Vancouver, dressing for 90 games. He played 35 games as a member of the Ottawa Redblacks in 2022 and 2023.
The Calgary Stampeders (11-7) will visit the B.C. Lions (11-7) in the West Semi-Final at BC Place Stadium on Saturday, November 1 with kickoff slated for 5:30 p.m. EDT. The Stampeders won their final three games of the regular season, including a 20-10 victory over the Edmonton Elks, while the Lions knocked off the Saskatchewan Roughriders to finish second in the West Division standings.
The game will be broadcast on TSN and RDS in Canada and CFL+ internationally. Radio listeners can tune-in on 770 CHQR in Calgary and 730 CKNW in Vancouver.
