Calgary Stampeders: A group of 70 women were high-stepping, twirling and whirling at Cardel Place on Sunday, March 15 for the 2009 Calgary Stampeders Outriders Dance and Cheer Team auditions.
“The 2009 Outrider auditions were a huge success,” said Outriders team manager Kelli Labonte. “I am very pleased with all the talented and energetic ladies that attended this year. I am looking forward to the 2009 Outrider Dance/Cheer Team performing at all Stampeder home games throughout the season and hosting the 2009 Grey Cup here in Calgary. Thank you to all of the ladies who made it out on Sunday.”
Approximately 40 of the hopefuls will be called back for an interview as the process of assembling the 2009 Outriders squad continues.
The judging panel on audition day included Outrider alumni, Blake Burnette of Devitt and Forand Contracting, Country 105 radio’s Dan Carson and Stampeders players Mike Labinjo, Fabio Filice, Sandro DeAngelis and Jeff Pilon.
