Beginning in March of 1968, Don McKeta, former head
coach of the Victoria Steelers, held informational and instructional
seminars on football to prepare Spokane for the CFL franchise. McKeta
had requested the transfer of the Victoria, BC franchise to Spokane
which petitioned the CFL to be relocated.
McKeta reported in June of 1968 that he had 35
players still on his roster from the 1967 Victoria Canadian Football
League, plus working agreements with the San Francisco 49ers, the
British Columbia Lions and the Calgary Stampeders.
In a Nov 16, 1968 loss, Kenny Stabler, signed Nov
6, finally got into the action but couldn't get the Shockers rolling
even though he was 7 of 10 passing. Stabler had been named the starter
against the Ramblers the week prior but only managed 10 of 29 for 71
yards.
In April of 1969 Hugh "Bones" Taylor, a veteran of
more than 30 years in professional football as a player and coach was
selected as new coach of the Shockers.
Spokane lost a heartbreaker to Seattle on Oct 14
when Tom Kennedy connected with Jim Paul for a TD as the clock read :22
remaining in the game. 11,102 fans attended "Kids Night" at
Seattle's Memorial Stadium.
