Ricky Ray has announced his retirement after an outstanding 16-year playing career in the CFL. Here are five memorable moments from the California-born quarterback's time in Canada: After starting the 2002 CFL season third on the Edmonton Eskimos' depth chart as a rookie, Ray moved up to No. 2 in training camp. He got his first start in Week 5 following an injury to Jason Maas where Ray fired four touchdown passes in a 37-27 win over the B.C. Lions. Ray's lone Grey Cup MVP award came in 2005 when he guided the Eskimos to a thrilling 38-35 overtime win over the Alouettes in Vancouver. After being traded to Toronto, Ray beat his old Eskimos team in a division semifinal and then led the Argos to an upset of Montreal in the East final. The game sent Toronto back home for the 100th Grey Cup at the Rogers Centre where Ray's late seven-yard touchdown pass to Andre Durie cemented a 35-22 Argos win over the Calgary Stampeders. On July 19, 2013., Ray completed 19-of-20 passes and two touchdowns to help the Argos' beat the Blue Bombers 35-19. Ray started 17 games in 2017 for the Argos under new coach Marc Trestman and threw for 5,546 yards with 28 TDs and 11 interceptions. The championship win in the snow in Ottawa was highlighted by Ray's Grey Cup-record 100-yard TD strike to DeVier Posey against the Calgary Stampeders.
