Stampeders re-sign hometown All-Star C McEwen
The Calgary Stampeders have re-signed All-Star centre Sean McEwen, the team announced Wednesday.
βSean is our leader on the offensive line,β said Stampeders general manager and head coach Dave Dickenson in a statement. βHeβs a durable guy we can count on and heβs motivated to win a championship. Weβre happy to get him back.β
McEwen, a 26-year-old native Calgarian, is coming off his third straight West Division All-Star nod since signing with the Stampeders.
βIβm very excited to be back in Calgary this year and pumped to play with these guys again,β said McEwen in a statement. βI know the potential of this group, and Iβm looking forward to re-establishing a winning culture this season.β
McEwen made 17 starts this past season and was part of a Stampeders offensive line that allowed just 34 sacks, the third-lowest total in the league. McEwen has played 115 career regular-season contests and five post-season games, including a Grey Cup victory in 2017.
McEwen was originally drafted by the Toronto Argonauts out of the University of Calgary and played four seasons for the Double Blue (2016-19) before heading home to Calgary.
