The mood at the Saskatchewan Roughrider Annual General Meeting was upbeat on Tuesday night despite the $1.1 Million loss last season.
A lot of that had to do with the Riders being 2-0 following their improbable 33-30 win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. It was a win that came despite losing their two top receivers and an offensive lineman to injury and the game demonstrated a sizeable difference from the Riders of 2023 – the team didn’t give up.
When Cory Mace took over the Riders, people were struck in the difference in intensity between Mace and former Rider Coach Craig Dickenson who seemed to have lost the locker room last season as the team slid out of the playoffs with a seven-game losing streak and a 6-12 record.
