Herm Harrison was an outstanding tight end who spent his entire nine year career with the Calgary Stampeders. It was a slow start in 1964 as Harrison had only 8 catches for 73 yards, but that was largely due to the fact that Harrison started as a linebacker and was converted to tight end. In his second season, Harrison displayed his talent with 53 catches and 826 yards to win his first West All-Star honour. Injuries limited Harrison to just 6 games and 15 catches in 1966, but Harrison bounced back in 1967 with 57 catches for 721 yards and his second West All-Star selection. Harrison was in his prime from 1968 to 1971 with three thousand yard seasons receving, barely missing with 980 yards in 1971. He caught 67, 68, 70 and 70 catches in those four years in a remarkable display of consistency. Harrison was a West All-Star in all four seasons and an All Canadian for three of them (1968, 1969 and 1970). Harrison was a member of the 1971 Grey Cup winning Stampeder team, scoring the only Calgary touchdown in the game. Herm Harrison was elected to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1993.
Herm Harrison passed away on November 2, 2013.
