Annis
Stukus- Player/Builder Annis Stukus played six different positions, including
quarterback, and was a member of Grey Cup winning teams in 1937
and 1938.
While he was the coach and GM of the new Edmonton
franchise, "Stuke" occasionally performed the kicking
duties for the team. Stukus recruited excellent players and launched
some outragious promotions. He went to Vancouver in 1953 to assist
the organization of the BC Lions and again put his promotional
abilities to good use.
The CFL has annually presented the 'Annis Stukus
Trophy' to the Coach of the Year.
