Feterik remains among the most controversial choices for a CFL starting quarterback in the 21st century. The team was owned at the time by Feterik's father Michael. Feterik served as backup to Marcus Crandell for his first two seasons before Crandell was injured and Michael Feterik insisted that his son get the starting position; coach Wally Buono resigned rather than acquiesce to the demand, and his successor Jim Barker insisted on a contract clause stating that if Kevin were to start, it would be only on his own merits.[4] Feterik left the Stampeders after one season as starter and never played professional football again.
