Calgary Stampeders general manager John Hufnagel is pleased to announce that national offensive lineman Shane Bergman has signed a contract extension that will carry through the 2018 season.

Fellow offensive lineman Spencer Wilson has also signed a three-year extension.

“Shane and Spencer have both been important players for us over the past few seasons and I’m pleased that they have chosen to make a commitment to the club by signing contract extensions,” said Hufnagel. “Under the guidance of position coach Pat DelMonaco, I believe the offensive line will continue to be a position of strength for us.”

Bergman, a sixth-round draft pick out of the University of Western Ontario in 2013, is entering his fourth season with the Stamps. He has started 30 games at left guard over the past two seasons.

Bergman was a key part of a line that allowed a league-low 31 sacks in 2015 and paved the way for three different tailbacks to record 100-yard games.

“I’m very happy for the chance to continue my career with the Stamps,” said Bergman, a 26-year-old native of Teeterville, Ont. “It’s a great organization and I look forward to the 2016 season and a chance to be with my teammates again, to play for Dave Dickenson and to try and win another Grey Cup.”
