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.

The following is the obituary by Jeff Dickins of the Hamilton Spectator of May 18, 1999

Third and long was never panic time for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Just call on Cam Fraser to limber up the leg, loosen the right foot and launch the football. Fraser was a down-to-earth individual who could send a pigskin into orbit. It was a special skill he turned into an art form during his heyday from 1951-62 and reprised briefly in 1969. He was The Punter, a hometown boy from Westdale who left a footprint on the sport.
He was billed as the finest kicker on the continent, capturing the imagination and creating a legend. But those gridiron accomplishments -- he's still prominent in the record book -- are just facts and figures. The awesome numbers don't measure the man who passed away at age 67 in hospital on Sunday.

"My husband played junior football with Cam and they always kept in touch, " Katie Lewington said. "Ron later had Lou Gehrig's disease and required someone around all the time. Cam would call and tell me to plan a shopping trip. Then he would come over and stay with Ron all day. Cam would bring lunch or cook lunch and talk with my husband. He was giving me a break, too."

Fraser enjoyed the simple pleasures. He loved his wife, Bette, daughters Donna and Sandra, golf and gabbing with folks. There was no pretense with he player dubbed "High School Harry" when he showed up at the Tiger-Cats' training camp. He remained true to form. "Cam never said no to a charity appearance. And he was at every celebrity golf tournament that came along, " former teammate Bob Dawson said. "When Ron Howell (a former Tiger-Cat) was struggling it was Cam who insisted on taking him out every week to make sure he kept fighting. He was a nice, wouldn't-hurt-a-fly-type kid and that never changed."

Fraser was a past president of the Tiger-Cats Alumni Association and a supporter of Kiwanis and Optimist club events. He helped the Arthritis Society of Hamilton after having knee and hip replacements. There was no mystery in his involvement."I'd like to see more of the present football players helping the society, " he said in an interview five years ago. "Believe me, a lot of them will be the beneficiaries when their playing days end." Some folks wondered if Fraser would ever close his career. He put the cleats away in 1962 but was lured from retirement when injuries left the club short seven years later. He gave a few more kicks for the Cats to help out in the pinch before finally packing it in.
"The big thing is to get your timing down, " he said of the comeback.

Fraser certainly has a sense for the dramatic. He was only 20 when the call for action came in the midst of a playoff game against the Toronto Argonauts in 1951. Conditions were treacherous -- rain and mud and wind. The headlines blared about the performance under the most difficult circumstances. "A Star Is Born as Lanky Cam Fraser Makes Good Under Terrific Pressure, " declared the Hamilton Spectator.
He proved from the start he was The Punter.

When the Cats played a game against Ottawa in Philadelphia during the 1958 season, he wowed the American audience with his booming efforts. Observers agreed with Hamilton head coach Jim Trimble that Fraser was the best in football. The NFL came courting but he wouldn't leave his Ancaster home or the job in the lab at Stelco."He was so good, he made the coaches take a second look at kicking specialists. Look at what he accomplished -- leading the league six years in a row, " said Paul Osbaldiston, the Cats current kicker. "It's a skill that not many people are capable of doing properly, let alone doing it properly on a consistent basis."
But Fraser was clockwork, game after game until the very end. He made punting a priority and not an afterthought.

He was 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds in his prime, a pretty fair baseball player and handy on the basketball court. But in pro sports he became famous for putting foot to ball.
"Cam had the perfect form and he got rid of it in a hurry. He wanted to punt and would kick to me for hours. I was trying to make the team and he was intense about the job, " Dawson recalls. "The ball went straight up like a rocket and then into a rainbow. It came straight down and if it ever hit the ground, it never stopped rolling. He would kick the wet, muddy ball. He would kick a soggy ball. It didn't matter."

A bit of the air went out of Fraser when Bette died of cancer a few years ago, however. His own physical ailments took a toll. The family has requested donations to the Arthritis Society. Visitation hours at Dodsworth and Brown on Wilson Street in Ancaster are 7-9 p.m. today and tomorrow from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.

Fraser scored 2 touchdowns in 1982 and 1 touchdown in 1953. Touchdowns were worth 5 point in those years.
