Jeremaine Copeland to join former teammate Nik Lewis in Canadian Football Hall of Fame
Global News
Copeland and Lewis were teammates in Calgary from 2005 to 2009, helping the Stampeders win the 2008 Grey Cup.
Jeremaine Copeland and Nik Lewis will soon be together again.
Copeland was named Thursday to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, which also includes offensive linemen Bryan Chiu and Jovan Olafioye, defensive back Scott Flagel and linebacker Darryl Hall, along with former official Glen Johnson and longtime Regina Rams coach Frank McCrystal as builders.
All will be enshrined Sept. 19 in Hamilton.
Winnipeg Sun columnist Paul Friesen and Judy Owen of The Canadian Press will also be added to the Hall’s media wing.
Copeland and Lewis were teammates in Calgary from 2005 to 2009, helping the Stampeders win the 2008 Grey Cup. But they were also close off the field, often talking about wanting to lead the club to CFL greatness.
So it was only fitting that Lewis, a 2021 Hall of Fame inductee, delivered the news to Copeland via video call.
“We got really emotional but it was really worth it,” Copeland said. “It was a great time and it couldn’t have come any better, tell you the truth.”
But Lewis’ job wasn’t easy.
