After playing junior football for the Notre-Dame-de-Grace Maple Leafs, Reg Whitehouse joined the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1952 as an offensive lineman and placekicker, staying with them until 1966, the year they won the 54th Grey Cup.[1][2] Whitehouse's best year as a kicker was 1959 when he converted 13 of 17 field goals for a 76.5 average. His career field goal percentage was 51.8 from 1952 to 1964. In 1965, the kicking duties were taken over by fellow offensive lineman Jack Abendschan.
