Amateur football careerSturtridge played amateur Canadian football in the Canadian Junior Football League, and was a member of the Winnipeg Rods.[2] Professional careerSturtridge signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders where he starred for four years.[1] In 1953 he won the Dr. Beattie Martin Trophy as best Canadian rookie in the Western Conference (this despite having played with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 1949).[3] He was a three-time Western All-Star (in 1954, 1955, and 1956), and was on his way back to Regina, Saskatchewan, on Trans-Canada Air Lines Flight 810 after playing in the Shrine Game in Vancouver, British Columbia, on December 8, 1956.[1] DeathSturtridge, his wife, Mildred (née Alford), Roughriders teammates, Mario DeMarco, Mel Becket, and Ray Syrnyk, were passengers on Flight 810 with another WIFU player, Calvin Jones, of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.[1] All five players were present at the 1956 All-Star game in Vancouver, British Columbia, and were headed back to their respective teams' home cities. The five players and Mildred were accompanied by 53 other passengers, and 3 crew members who all lost their lives in Western Canada's worst aviation disaster on December 9, 1956, on Slesse Mountain (Mount Slesse) near Chilliwack, British Columbia.[1] The crash is the subject of the 2012 documentary The Crash of Flight 810, part of TSN's Engraved on a Nation series of eight documentaries celebrating the 100th Grey Cup.[4][5][6] Gordon and Mildred were survived by their three young children who were home in Regina at the time of the crash.[1] LegacyIn 1957, a youth football league in North Vancouver, British Columbia was named in memory of Sturtridge.[1] The Gordon Sturtridge Football League is for players aged 6 to 15.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite book |last=O'Keefe |first=Betty|quote=|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=uoRGAAAAYAAJ&q=disaster+on+mount+slesse&dq=disaster+on+mount+slesse&ei=qW3-SteRBoqQlQT-z5miDw |title=Disaster on Mount Slesse |year=2006 |publisher=Caitlin Press |location= |isbn = 1-894759-21-4 }} 2. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.footballcanada.com/useredits/File/CJFL%20alumni.pdf | accessdate = 2009-11-14 | title = CJFL Alumni in the CFL | publisher = footballcanada.com | year = 2008}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} 3. ^Winnipeg Blue Bombers Alumni {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004080410/http://www.bomberalumni.com/index.cfm?pageID=77&category=S |date=2011-10-04 }} 4. ^{{cite web|last=McNeil|first=Shane|title=Engraved On a Nation: A Family United Through Tragedy|url=https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=408669|publisher=The Sports Network|accessdate=November 2, 2012|date=November 2, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Beamish|first=Mike|title=Fatal 1956 CFL air crash-Engraved On a Nation: Recalling a flight taken, and not taken|url=https://vancouversun.com/sports/football/lions/Fatal+1956+crash+Engraved+Nation/7479464/story.html|accessdate=November 2, 2012|newspaper=The Vancouver Sun|date=November 1, 2012}} 6. ^"62 Aboard TCA Plane Missing in Mountains Vanishes in B.C.
