Charly Crawford Podcast

I can’t thank the committee at the Calgary Stampede enough for inviting me to come up during the Stampede and host a podcast during the Rocky Mountain Cup. Although it’s not team roping in the rodeo, the production and payout is still up to Calgary Stampede standards and has the sport headed in the right direction.

I first sat down with Canadian Team Roping Icon, Rocky Dallyn. He’s a multiple time canadian champion and a 2002 Olympic Gold Medal winner in the Team Roping. Rocky took me throught the evolution of team roping in Cananda and the major role he played to get it to where it is today.

Next, I had another great visit with CEO John Cowley. He filled me in on some of the new exciting things that are happening at the Stamepede Park, and gave some stats from the most recent economical impact study that shows just how much revenue the Stampede brings into not just Calgary but to the Province of Alberta.

Following Joel, I chatted with Lane Boisjoli who is the Vice Chair of the rodeo commitee about the success of the Rocky Mountain Cup, and some of the up and coming team roping events to be hosted at the Stampede Park.

Finally, I interviewed some familiar faces to the podcast in Corbin Rice and Cooper Freeman, the Champions of the Rocky Mountain Cup, adding another huge win to their resume in 2026 and solidifying their first trip to the NFR.

It was great to have one of the guys that is in the elite class of ropers to make the NFR heading and heeling on the podcast this week. Clint Summers has been in the conversation for a world title ever since he picked up a head rope and it was great to get to talk horses, ropes, how a great team is formed, and  what it was like coming from Florida and what he learned from the legendary ropers who have come from the southeast like Brad Culpepper and Speed Williams. Good luck to everyone headed out for the summer run and as always thanks for tuning in and God Bless!

I sat down with two of the best up and coming team ropers in the game, Tyler Tryan and Nicky Northcott. We talked about what their first experiences out on the rodeo trail and how it has prepared them for this up and coming year where they have their sights set on qualifiing for their first NFR. They both come from legendary bloodlines with world champions on both sides, so the may seem like rookies to the average person but they are far from it, and their knowlege of team roping reaches far beyond their years. It was really cool to have the next generation on to see what their mind set is and how they prepare. I see big thing in both of these guys future and excited to see what they achieve in the years to come.
