RIDER 2016 FAN DAY PHOTOS
The defense beat the offense 44-39 in the Riders’ annual mock game Saturday at SMF Field in Saskatoon. Riders coach Chris Jones called it a “poor display”.

Until then, please enjoy these photos from Gordie Howe Sport Centre … If you were one of the 3,000 in attendance, please leave your comments in the Comment section …

The players was equally great as they talked… Read more »
