York Hentschel was a Grey Cup champion defensive lineman with the Edmonton Eskimos. As a member of the famed "Alberta Crude" defence, Hentschel won 3 Grey Cups with the Eskimos (1978 to 1980). Many felt that his skills were under-appreciated because he played next to three all-stars: Dave Fennell, Ron Estay and David Boone. He finished his career in 1981 playing for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
