\u201cPart of the journey is the end,\u201d said Antwi. \u201cThe last five years have been a dream. Thank you to coach Dave Dickenson and the rest of the Calgary Stampeders coaching staff for allowing me to fulfill a lifelong goal of representing the horse. It was an honour and a privilege to wear the Calgary Stampeders jersey and I could not think of a better way to end my career.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve known Jeshrun for close to 10 years and it was great to have him with the Stampeders in 2025,\u201d said general manager and head coach Dave Dickenson. \u201cI know he\u2019ll be successful in whatever path he chooses.\u201d<\/p>\n
