Joining Dickenson in the players category are Leroy Blugh, Eddie Davis and Gene Makowsky while Montreal Alouettes owner Bob Wetenhall, former CFL player, coach and GM Bob OBillovich and longtime amateur football coach and administrator Larry Reda will go as builders.Dickenson, 41, spent 10 seasons as a quarterback with the Calgary Stampeders and B.C. Lions. In 143 career games, the native of Great Falls, Mont., completed 67.5 per cent of his passes for 22,913 yards with 154 TDs and 50 interceptions.Dickenson is the second-most accurate passer in CFL history behind Ricky Ray of the Toronto Argonauts (67.6 per cent).Dickenson was the CFLs outstanding player in 2000 and won two Grey Cups, earning game MVP honours in 06 with B.C. Dickenson was hampered by injuries throughout his career, something hes glad voters didnt hold against him.Im very appreciative, Dickenson said. More than anything I was just happy the voters decided to vote on quality over quantity.Theres certainly an argument out there both ways but I felt when I did play I was with the best in the game.The date and location of the 15 induction ceremony wasnt immediately available. The new inductees will boost the Hall of Fames membership to 278.Dickenson, currently Calgarys offensive co-ordinator, is preparing to face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Grey Cup game Sunday at B.C. Place Stadium. While the timing of his induction isnt exactly ideal, it doesnt diminish the significance of the honour in Dickensons mind.Its important to me, he said. Every one of us wants to leave a mark, or at least I do.You want to do good things not only for yourself but you want to make sure youre remembered in a positive way. The validation of a Hall of Fame (nomination) is people respected what you did and respected how you played and obviously you played well enough to get into that super elite club. Im very happy about it, they cant take it away from me. I know a lot of the history and believe in this type of stuff. Ive been to the Hall of Fame in Hamilton multiple times. To me, its a pretty big accomplishment.When players go into baseballs Hall of Fame, they must choose which teams cap theyll wear during their induction ceremony. Dickenson is thankful he wont have to decide between a Stampeders or Lions hat when he goes into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.I had some great years in Calgary and to me a lot of great years in Vancouver, he said. It wouldve been an interesting deal if you had to put a hat on.Dickenson is especially happy to be in the same induction class as OBillovich, a fellow Montana native.I think it was time to put him in as well, Dickenson said.

New Orleans has won two in a row for the first time in more than a month.Teams that are ahead of us, theyre going to keep winning, Gordon said. Theres no slowing down for them. For us, we got to get over that hump and beat most of these Western Conference teams.Gorgui Dieng had 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Timberwolves (7-35), who have the fewest wins in the league.The Pelicans moved into a tie with Oklahoma City for ninth in the Western Conference after the Thunder lost to Atlanta.Ryan Anderson missed the game with ankle inflammation and Jrue Holiday again was out with a stress reaction in his right leg. But a team that has struggled against some of the leagues worst managed to buckle down and grind one out against the lowly Timberwolves.Davis made just 9 of 23 shots, but the Pelicans held star rookie Andrew Wiggins to 13 points on 6-for-16 shooting.I think hes physically and mentally just worn (out), coach Flip Saunders said of Wiggins, who has been forced into a featured role with Kevin Martin and Ricky Rubio out because of injuries. I think hes hit the rookie wall a bit. Somehow weve got to find a way to go right through it. Hes got to find a soft spot in that wall and we have to bust right through it.The 92 points were the fewest scored by the Pelicans in a win this year, but after an uneven January, theyll take Ws any way they can.Glaring losses at Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Charlotte this month kept the Pelicans from buiilding any momentum in a conference that offers little room for missteps.ddddddddddddThings looked a little ominous in the early going when they fell behind 11-1 to a team they beat by 48 points in November.But Dante Cunningham, who had struggled with his shooting recently, made 7 of 12 shots for 14 points and Tyreke Evans had 17 points and eight assists to help the Pelicans hold off the Wolves.Minnesota pulled within 82-78 with four minutes to play, but Cunningham hit a jumper, Davis scored on a drive to the basket and then iced the game with an 18-foot jumper.Thaddeus Young scored 15 points and Mo Williams added 12 points and 10 assists for Minnesota.Were not trying to string up two, Pelicans coach Monty Williams said.

Young did not grab a rebound in 31 minutes.CUNNINGHAMS RETURNCunningham played the previous two seasons in Minnesota, a stay that finished on a sour note when he was charged with domestic assault against his then-girlfriend at the end of last season. The charges were eventually dropped when police decided that the woman fabricated the allegations as part of an extortion attempt. The short-handed Pelicans signed him in December to a veterans minimum deal, and Cunningham is trying to rebuild his reputation.Honestly, another gym, another arena, Cunningham said of his return. Try not to think about it too much. Obviously, its in the back of your mind, being here for two years.
