Sad news to report that former Calgary Stampeders majority owner & later a minority ownership partner with the Flames, John Forzani passed away in Palm Springs, CA today at age 67. Big loss for the football community here. He meant a lot to football at all levels in our city from the CFL to 8 year old Atom football. He rescued the Stampeders from F Troop (as they were called) Michael Feterik & Fred Fateri in early 2005 & put the team back on the road to prosperity & later selling them to the Flames. Talk about a self made multi, multi, multi millionaire. He should have written a book...
