Known for his fierce competitiveness and leadership on and off the field, O’Day was named a division allstar six times and a CFL all-star three times. On four occasions, he was the Riders’ nominee for the CFL’s

the next four years. In December of 2015, O’Day was named Assistant Vice President of Football Operations
and Administration.
Off the field, O’Day spent countless hours in the community, an effort that was recognized by the CFL in
2008 when he was named the winner of the Tom Pate Award. Giving back to the community remains
incredibly important to him and is something he continues to do at every opportunity.

and 1993) at safety. There have been some great safeties in Roughrider history, but Suitor’s name ranks up
there at or near the top of the list. He recorded 51 career interceptions with at least one in every season he
played and a career high of 8 in 1991. In 1987, Suitor ran two interceptions back for touchdowns. Suitor was
also a highly durable player, not missing a single game in his entire CFL career. Suitor retired after the 1995
