Single malt and 1919 are exempt from the salary cap.

As has been mentioned by @Booch, Joe Pascucci would be the best to touch base with for any video clips, as he acts as an unofficial club historian with lots of archival stuff from his days at CKND (had the foresight to save the stuff). The Free Press has their online archive, or you could attend the Winnipeg Centennial library to view their entire microfilm catalogue (which would allow you to print any pages from any issue of the paper, provided you know which dates you are looking for). They may have some newspaper photos. As for the club, not sure if the Alumni Association could help, but try their website at www.bomberalumni.com and reach out to them if you have any specific requests. I also saw that the club posted an obituary for your dad on the www.bluebombers.com website back in 2011 (you can still find a link to it by searching your dad’s name on Google), so they might be of assistance too. Finally, as you have seen, @SpeedFlex27 is our resident go-to guy for the past living history of the club, especially the 1970’s era, so he would have a trove of memories for you. Best of luck with your search.

He tells some great stories. Forster passed away. These are old stories.

whatever I'm only listening to CFRY right now because they have the rights to Gipp Forster's It Feels Like Christmas (I will admit I wish it was still on CJOB because that jingle is just not the same without "On CJOB" add-on)

Imagine coaching or playing with teammate who could run the ball, play receiver, play defensive back at a high level. return punts & kicks & be an undersized long snapper? Then be even more athletic as your best American player. That was Peter Ribbins. I'd call him a generational player.

Scott Grant Photography has a great action photo of your father I'm sure your family would appreciate. You should contact him. His photos are online & you can order it. I remember your father very well. He was just a natural as a player. Peter excelled whatever position he played. He was a safety, a corner, a receiver (wingback) & he could run with the ball as well. He also was the Blue Bomber long snapper. At 185 lbs & he did that very well, too.
I remember the game in 1972 when he picked off 4 passes against the BC Lions.
Your Dad was one of my favourite player's back when he played.

Ok. But there was also 'pretty good authority' saying Pierce was the front runner.

The Big Blue were in an almost identical situation - back in 2013 when they hired O'Shea.

Osh was a huge risky pick...100 percent....But we wanted a culture shift, and thats who Wde and Walters identified as who to best run what they envisioned...They also wanted a fresh face not far removed from today's player as well...which was key..

Mark H. reacted to bluto in 2023/2024 CFL (Non Bombers) Off Season News
Some would suggest that Osh was the more risky pick with his Coordinator experience having been in STs.

Yep. I"d say the Riders need to go with 3 imports on the OL, like the Bombers did not that long ago. But who's going to find good ones? Sure as cuss not O'Day.
