Duane Forde
Forde played twelve seasons for the Calgary Stampeders, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Toronto Argonauts, and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Forde, who spent four years as the team captain of the Stampeders, had a consecutive games played streak of 150, counting regular season and postseason games, over an eight-season period. Forde's teams reached the Grey Cup on five occasions (1991, 1992, 1993, 1998, and 1999), winning twice (1992 and 1998).
Forde had previously played in CIS football for the Western Ontario Mustangs from 1987 to 1990. While he was at UWO, the Mustangs lost just once in the regular season, and they won the 1989 Vanier Cup. Selected two times as the Mustangs' Most Valuable Player, Forde co-captained the 1989 team.
In 2008, Forde joined TSN as a commentator for their Friday Night Football broadcasts. Forde serves as the secondary commentator, calling games with play by play announcer Rod Black. Forde was also an analyst for TSN.ca's coverage of the 2008 CFL Draft. Before joining TSN, Forde served as a commentator for The Score's CIS football telecasts from 2006 to 2007 and was a CFL analyst for Rogers Sportsnet from 2003 to 2005.
Forde was born in Toronto and resides in Mississauga, Ont., with his wife Sheri Forde, a reporter for SportsCentre on TSN. In June 2008, Forde was inducted into the Mississauga Sports Hall of Fame.
