New quarterback, new turf, new era begins for Stampeders at camp
- The Calgary Stampeders opened their 2025 training camp at Shouldice Park on May 11 and returned to practice on new turf at McMahon Stadium the following Monday.
- This camp follows a 2024 season in which the Stampeders finished last with a 5-12-1 record and underwent major changes, including acquiring veteran quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. In a November trade with the B.C. Lions.
- The team added Dominique Rhymes and Tevin Jones, both acquired as free agents, to strengthen their receiving corps, while Adams and the other quarterbacks face intense competition that motivates them to improve, according to coach Dave Dickenson.
- Adams characterized the group as motivated, explaining that everyone contributes their energy as they work to shift the team’s culture, while Dickenson highlighted the quarterbacks’ strong performances, noting that all four made impressive throws during the competition.
- The Stampeders plan two pre-season games starting May 19 in Vancouver, aiming to improve from last year with a new outlook, and coach Dickenson expects the competition and new additions to help surprise many this season.
