It's been another long off-season for Okotoks Charlie Power.

The Calgary Stampeders fullback is going through another winter of "what if's" after the Stamps lost their second straight Grey Cup.

Power says despite back to back stumbles in the championship, fans have been pretty good about it.

"Everyone's been great. Which has been surprising. We have awesome fans! They've all been nice, but they're sorry we lost the thing. There's been a few asking "Why didn't you do this? Why didn't you do that?" But people have been great!"

Power says you have to learn from losses.

Hopefully the stamps have learned enough to win it in 2018.
