Who is Glen Scrivener?
Glen Scrivener is a former football player in the Canadian Football League for 12 years. Scrivener played defensive tackle for five different teams from 1990-2001. His brother Colin also played in the CFL.
Glen Scrivener played for the BC Lions club that won the 82nd Grey Cup, 26–23, over the Baltimore Stallions at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver. He played for a second Grey Cup in 1997, during his second stint with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but the team fell to Toronto, 47–23, as the Argonauts won their record 14th championship.
In 1998, Scrivener was the recipient of the Tom Pate Memorial Award, an honour named for a late CFL player who died at an early age, and awarded to the athlete who best represents Pate's legacy of commitment both to team and community. Scrivener, then playing for Winnipeg, became the third member of the Blue Bombers to receive the award. Among Scrivener's off-field contributions through the years has been participation in Allstars Baseball, a group of professional athletes and occasionally other celebrities who play benefit softball games for charities such as Special Olympics.
Scrivener, who is the son of late Winnipeg Blue Bombers executive Harvey Scrivener, played his college football at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri, U.S. Since retirement, Scrivener works in the propane business in Manitoba.
