Former Calgary Stampeders quarterback Bob Torrance has died at age 43.
The CFL club said in a release Wednesday that Torrance died in Newfoundland on Tuesday.
He dressed for 27 games with the Stampeders in 1991-92 and 1995 and was a member of Calgary's '92 Grey Cup-winning team.
Torrance spent the '93 season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and threw for 870 yards and three touchdowns in his CFL career.
"I was extremely saddened to learn of Bob's passing," said Stamps head coach and general manager John Hufnagel, who coached Torrance with the Stamps and the University of Calgary Dinos.
"Bob came into the CFL after a fantastic university career and helped pave the way for Canadian quarterbacks at this level."
He led the Dinos to the 1988 Vanier Cup and was named most valuable player in that season's Central Bowl.
