After all "the best" receiver, running back, coaches, of all time threads, it is time to get serious. Who is the all time best CFL holder? (Yes holder, the guy who catches the snap and holds the ball for the kicker to kick a field goal).
My vote goes to Ben Cahoon. He caught a ton of high snaps and the kickers have a high rate of sucess with him as a holder.
My second choice is Chuckles Mcgee of the 1940s Calgary Stampeders.
A little off-topic, but if any field goal in the history of the league gets to be called “The Kick”, shouldn’t it be something a little more, shall we say, challenging? 30 yards, from dead centre, in an indoor stadium?
Not exactly legendary for its own merits - more because of the overall context. Had the final score been 12-9, or Sask’s drought a couple of decades shorter, no one would even remember that same kick.
