Calgary Stampede announcer marks 40 years behind the mic: ‘Might as well do another 40’
July 3, 2025
It was August 1983 at the Hand Hills Lake Stampede and Les McIntyre had just fallen out of his chuckwagon.
As he remembers it, McIntyre had made a sharp turn, hit a competitor’s wagon and tumbled to the ground at no less than 40 kilometres an hour. When he hit the ground, another wagon following behind hit him, knocking McIntyre out cold and resulting in a career-ending back injury before the age of 30. He spent the next week in a Calgary hospital bed.
