CFL legend and hall of famer Norman Kwong passed away today at the age of 86.

He was probably the first Chinese-Canadian to enter the CFL and was nicknamed the China Clipper. He won four Grey Cups and also as an executive won a Stanley Cup as well.
祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放，首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事，由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。

A good clip on the China Clipper.




And I always get a kick out of Kwong's cameo in this Stampeder commercial.

You're as old as you've ever been and as young as you're ever going to be.

RIP Normie. Condolences to his friends and family.

Got to see him play when I was a youth. One of the all time greats in the CFL.
