The Calgary Stampeders kick off the final third of the 2013 CFL regular season on Saturday with a visit to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' temporary home at Alumni Stadium in Guelph, Ont.

Kickoff is at 4 p.m. MDT and the game will be broadcast on Newstalk 770 as well as TSN.

Fans in the Calgary can catch all the action at the Stamps' official site for Road Game Tweet-ups - Shark Club Deerfoot Meadows (7995 11th St. SE).

The Stamps lead the West Division with a 9-3 record, with one of the Red and White's victories coming at the expense of the Ticats - a 26-22 decision in Calgary on Sept. 13.

Hamilton is 6-6 and occupies second place in the East Division. The Ticats are playing in Guelph this season while their new stadium in Hamilton - slated to open in 2014 - is under construction. Guelph is located approximately 50 km northwest of Steeltown.

The Stamps are trying to get back on the winning track after last week's 33-27 home-field loss to the Toronto Argonauts snapped Calgary's four-game winning streak.

The Ticats are coming off a 28-26 win over the Montreal Alouettes in Touchdown Atlantic in Moncton, N.B.

This is the second time in three years the Ticats have hosted the Stamps outside of Hamilton. In 2011, the Stamps and Ticats met in Moncton in the second installment of the Touchdown Atlantic series.

Calgary is 4-2 on the road this season while the Ticats are 4-2 at home, including a 3-2 mark in Guelph. Last week's Touchdown Atlantic contest was considered a Hamilton home game.

The Stampeders' next home action comes on Saturday, Oct. 5 when Calgary hosts the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Kickoff at McMahon Stadium is at 4:30 p.m. and tickets are available at Stampeders.com
