Stamps' Simpson back in the saddle
Calgary Stampeders' Juwan Simpson shows off the team's new helmet following a practice in Calgary, Thursday, June 4, 2009. A lighter helmet that protects the head better and has a removeable liner for cleaning is all well and good, but Calgary Stampeders receiver Ken-Yon Rambo loves his new lid because he thinks he looks good in it. On the opening day of training camp, the Stamps issued the new Speed helmets from CFL sponsor Riddell. Old school players such as offensive lineman Jeff Pilon, however, were resistant to change.
