Saskatchewan’s been buzzing for the last couple weeks after the Seattle Seahawks qualified to go the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos. Usually Saskatchewan football fans are focused on a team wearing a different shade of green and the NFL isn’t as popular as the Canadian Football League for most people. But this game has special […]
The Riders are already the third most successful team in terms of selling merchandise in Canada, behind only the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Laffs. That’s partly because there isn’t much you can’t buy without the Riders logo on it. The Riders’ unprecedented success can also be attributed to a significant expansion in products, thanks […]
Well, in the end, the Riders held on to win the Grey Cup yesterday in a game (and really an entire season) that felt pre-destined. The Grey Cup losses in 2009 & 2010, the Grey Cup being held in Regina for only the third time in its history (and last time at historic Taylor Field), […]
Just a few shots of our family enjoying the Riders over the past few years…
Lots of fun stuff happening during Grey Cup week in Regina as you might imagine. Here’s a few things I’ve come across… This montage of fan-submitted Grey Cup-related photos is pretty cool (and hypnotic!)

So this week marks the second time in my life that I’ve been living in a city that’s enjoying a run to the championship by a local professional sports team (the Blue Jays’ World Series victories in 1992 & 1993, though memorable, didn’t quite feel the same.) In 2004, Shea and I were in Calgary […]

Well, that didn’t take long… Somebody already has a photo slideshow up on YouTube in tribute to the Riders winning the Western Final yesterday against the Stamps, set to the song “Paint The Whole World Green” by Jason Plumb and the Willing. Leading up to the Grey Cup game next Sunday, this town is going to […]
I had to work today so had set the PVR to record the Riders vs. Stamps Western Final CFL game. I also strategized how to not accidentally hear the score before I got home – no glimpses at Facebook on my smartphone, no checking Twitter at my break, only trying to make the most generic […]
Regina Public Library does! And if you stop by to see me at Regent Place Library between 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. tomorrow afternoon before the big game, you too can have a Rider/Grey Cup-themed button of your own. Here’s what the table in my office looked like while I was practicing with the button making […]
