Stacey began her cheer journey as a high school cheerleader and went on to earn a spot with the Saskatchewan Roughriders Cheer Team during her graduating year. She cheered with the Riders from 1993 to 1997 and later assisted with coaching alongside former teammate Hilary Ibbot‑Neisner. Stacey stepped away from the team when she relocated to Prince Albert, as commuting no longer allowed her to continue her involvement.Following her time with the Riders, and prior to the establishment of a provincial cheerleading association in Saskatchewan, Stacey contributed to the sport by judging high school cheer competitions in the early 2000s. After marrying in 2003, her connection to cheer paused, but the sport returned to her life in 2011 when both of her daughters became involved in club cheerleading, including one who competed at a high level for seven years. Through this experience, Stacey witnessed the significant growth of cheerleading in Saskatchewan, from expanded club programs to increased recognition of the sport at the high school level.
In 2011, Stacey attended the 50th reunion of Saskatchewan Roughrider cheerleaders, marking the final year in the team’s longtime stadium. She looks forward to celebrating future milestones together in the new stadium and remains proud of the progress and legacy of cheerleading in the province.
