Through his ten year career he saw some action as an offensive end, but was specifically used as the team’s punter. An imposing 6’3 and 200 lbs, he developed into one of the great kickers in CFL history. In an era of import players who were regarded as preferred punters, Cam and Vic Chapman were the only Canadians to play the position during the era. As a result he was known to be the highest paid punter in pro football, reaching $4,800 per season in the late 1950s. An astute player he was able to score a touchdown off one of his own punts, when he scampered downfield and pounced on a ball that was untouched in the end zone as time ran out, allowing the Ti-Cats to defeat the Alouettes 20-15 on September 27 1953. He led the eastern teams in punting from 1954 through 1959. His best season was in 1955 when his average of 47.4 yards set a league record until eclipsed by Dave Mann of the Argonauts in 1961. At the Sept 1958 Big Four game played in Philadelphia, Sammy Baugh was quoted as saying he was the best punter he had ever seen. NFL teams were interested, but could not compete with Cams football salary when added to his off-season earnings working for Stelco. In 1958 his pass off a fake punt was credited with winning the Grey Cup that year. By  1961, though averaging  43.4 yards, he had fallen behind Mann and Charlie Shepard as a league leader and coach Jim Trimble did not activate him for every game and he sat out the playoffs as well. In particular a kicking exchange (where punters returned punts to each other in an attempt to gain field position) on August 20 1961, saw Fraser steadily losing ground to Dave Mann who received the first Ti-Cat punt on the Argo 2 yard line and ended up returning Cam’s final punt from the Hamilton 25 for a touchdown. In 1962, the Ti-Cats decided to go with Bernie Faloney as a punter and released Cam. He was picked up on waivers by the punt-plagued Alouettes who had tried Gino Berretta and Jake Espenship before turning to 19 year old Martin Fabi.  Fabi was released in August 1962 to make way for the 30 year old Fraser.

While it seemed that 1962 would be his last year, after being released by the Alouettes, fate intervened and Cam finished his active career, after a seven year interruption in 1969 with the Ti-Cats when regular punter Joe Zuger was injured. Cam, still employed at Stelco, was on strike, and contacted the Ti-cats radio broadcaster to say that he could probably help out. Coach Joe Restic agreed and he was back on the team for three games that season, averaging 37.4 years on 20 punts,  before hanging them up for good. In all he punted 987 times for 44,287 yards during career. His 44.9 yard average ranks fifth all-time. After football, Cam  served as President of the Ti-Cats Alumni Association and was active in Hamilton area fund raising through Kiwanis and Optimist events as well as the Arthritis Association of Canada. He died in May 16, 1999.
