Initially, Christian had a hard time finding employment in the CFL as letters he sent to Edmonton and Calgary were both rejected on the grounds they had enough import HBs. In a final bid for employment, Christian mentioned he had been born in Calgary and under the rules at that time, he was classified as a non-import, and Calgary was only too happy to sign him. Christian saw action mainly at RB and DB, but also ran back kicks and did some kicking. In fact, Christian kicked the only fieldgoal, the Stampeders had in 1953. After two years with Calgary (1953-54), Christian played two seasons with BC in 1955 and 1956, before returning to the Stampeders for his final season in 1957.
