As part of our ongoing commitment to community engagement and extending the spirit of the Calgary Stampede year-round, we are proud to introduce a new initiative: 

The Calgary Stampede Champion Award.

This program is designed to spotlight local athletes who not only excel in their sport but also embody the values that define the Stampede spirit: Western hospitality, integrity and commitment to the community.

YAHOO Calgary Stampede Champions!

Thank you to all the teams, coaches, parents and community members who submitted applications for the Calgary Stampede Champion Award. We are incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and support shown for this new program, created to celebrate young athletes who embody the values of Western hospitality, integrity, and commitment to the community.

We’re excited to continue growing this program - applications will open again in the spring of 2026. Sign up to become a Stampede Insider and be the first to hear about future program updates and application details.
