“I am sure (the audience reaction in Winnipeg) will be with what happened when I broke this touchdown record. It will be so much love, and when we plan to come back, I didn't know that the panel would be in Winnipeg.

“I am excited, I'm nervous, but I'm looking forward to it … it gets great when Winnipeg can pull out this game – it will do it even better.”

Chase ended his second season in the men's football team at Depaul University in Chicago at the time of his death. Stegall said, while it was a difficult time for the whole family, and a situation that he would not like to anyone would slowly work back to enjoy life again – something his son would have wanted.

“We get better. It is a process, and as if I have told everyone, it is different challenges every day … but every day we get better and that's all we can hope,” he said.

“We will deal with it for the rest of our lives, but we can not only allow this to consume ourselves, overtake and control ourselves because Chase wouldn't want it, and we don't want that.

“We want to make sure that we live an optimistic, positive and uplifting life.”
