Rick Black

Rick Black is a former award-winning Fullback and Grey Cup Champion in the Canadian Football League.

A graduate of Mount Allison University, Black joined the Ottawa Rough Riders in 1963.

He was the starting punter during his rookie season (79 punts for a 36.9 yard average)[1] and on the strength of his kicking, won the Gruen Trophy as best rookie in the East (this at a time when only Canadians were eligible for the award.)

Black retired October 2, 1968, missing the Grey Cup championship game that season.
