He finished his career playing 3 seasons with the Edmonton Eskimos. While serving in the RCAF during the war, he also had the good fortune to play in the famed Tea Bowl for the Canadian Army football team against American Army team at White City Stadium on February 13, 1944 in London, England (the Canadians won 16-6). Bill was one of the famed Stukus brothers. Both Annis Stukus and Frank Stukus were Grey Cup champions. Indeed, while with the Argonauts all three played in the backfield at the same time, and won the Grey Cup together in 1938.
