CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders basked in the adulation of more than 2,000 screaming fans Tuesday as Calgarians celebrated the teams Grey Cup victory with a public rally at city hall.Most of the attention was on Canadian running back Jon Cornish, defensive star Juwan Simpson and quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, who was named the outstanding player of the Stampeders 20-16 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Sunday in Vancouver.Now get to fulfil a dream Ive wanted to do for a long time — pass it to Mayor (Naheed) Nenshi. The trophys pretty heavy, laughed Cornish, who was holding tightly to the Grey Cup as the festivities began.The most important part of our organization is our fans so Id like to thank each and every one of you for your support today and throughout the season. If it wasnt for you we wouldnt be standing here today.Mitchell appeared embarrassed when the crowd starting changing MVP, MVP in reference to his performance during the Grey Cup.Yall are amazing. Obviously Ive got to thank every single person here and everybody in this city for being a part of this, he said.The players, wearing white cowboy hats, stayed on the stage after the rally, talking to fans and throwing foam footballs into the crowd.It was a bittersweet moment for slotback Nik Lewis, who becomes a free agent.Lewis, at one point the top receiver for the Stamps, was a 1,000-yard receiver in each of his first nine CFL seasons. He suffered a broken fibula in August 2013 and has totalled just 69 catches for 777 yards and three TDs over the last two years.I wouldnt want to go anywhere else but its a game, its a sport, Lewis told reporters. Right now I am just enjoying this but next week before I go back to Texas Ill sit down with Huff and sit down with Dave and well figure something out.Personally it wasnt the greatest year but I grew up a lot this year Ive had to learn to grow and I think that just made me a better person, a better teammate and its a special day to be a part of this, he added.Up until August 17th, 2013, my life was great. It was easy. I could put up 1,000 yard seasons. It was easy but when I got hurt that day it changed a lot. Just to fight to get back to this moment is awesome.Nenshi paid tribute to the team, its success and fans and declared Dec. 2, 2014 Calgary Stampeders Day.I love Canadian football. I love the CFL. This is Canadas game, Nenshi said.This folks is a team of destiny. This is the best team the CFL has seen in years ... OK the best team ever.Fans bundled up and put on their Stampeder colours to show their support.Im here to cheer on the champs, said Brian Lubbers, who was holding his two-year-old son Jackson.The fans are good in this city.Jennifer Sellon brought her whole family. Wearing a Stamps jersey, toque and gloves she was reluctant to let the season come to an end.We went to the Grey Cup and we havent missed a home game and we just wanted to come and support them, she said.It was an awesome, awesome season.
