Shaun Suisham Playing in Super Bowl XLV Tomorrow

Wallaceburg, ON – Nerves will be high tonight and tomorrow morning as all of Chatham-Kent holds their breath to watch Wallaceburg’s Shaun Suisham kick in Super Bowl XLV. Suisham’s Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Green Bay Packers.

The road to the Super Bowl has been a long and winding one for Suisham. From the fields of Wallaceburg, to Bowling Green, his first NFL success with the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, and finally, after being cut multiple times, and sacrificed in the media, Suisham has the ultimate chance for redemption.

Since joining the Steelers this season, Suisham is 14/15 in regular season field goal attempts, with a long of 48-yards, and a perfect 19/19 in point after attempts. In the post season this year, Suisham is 2/3 on field goals and 7/7 in extra points.

Win or lose in tomorrow’s Super Bowl XLV, the town of Wallaceburg is behind Suisham, “Win or lose Shaun will be a household name and hero to many,” said Wallaceburg resident and Chamber of Commerce Board of Director’s member Travis Hooper.

As the only Canadian in the game, Hooper and other Wallaceburg residents also recognize the important, positive exposure Suisham is bringing to town, “The exposure will be great as he is proud of his roots and where he comes from, as he should be.”

Game time is 6:29pm tomorrow as Shaun Suisham and the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV.
