Note: the 2000 Calgary Media Guide lists Nick Albert as having played for the Stampeders in 1946. There is no other confirmation on this. The September 22, 1949 article (above) refers to Albert as a homegrown Edmonton boy which appears to be incorrect according to information received from family members.
