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.) He later developed into a reliable reserve fullback, his best year being 1965 when he rushed for 480 yards.[2] In total, he rushed for 1309 yards, caught 28 passes and scored 12 touchdowns. In his final season the Riders were Grey Cup champions.
