Stamps Host Ticats in PinkPower Game on Saturday

October 16, 2012 - Canadian Football League (CFL)
Calgary Stampeders News Release


After clinching a Canadian Football League playoff berth last week, the Calgary Stampeders look to solidify their position in the West Division as they play host to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday.

Kickoff at McMahon Stadium is 5 p.m.

It's also the Stamps' annual PinkPower game to help raise awareness and raise funds for the battle against women's cancers. Fans can get involved by purchasing their tickets at stampeders.com/promo and using the code GOPINK - $5 from each ticket sold will be donated directly to the Canadian Cancer Society. During the game, members of the Canadian Cancer Society will be selling limited-edition PinkPower Calgary Stampeders gear including a scarf and two different toques. All merchandise is on sale for $20 per piece and the proceeds go directly to Canadian Cancer Society.

On the field, the Stampeders (9-6) will try to take another step towards locking up a home playoff date. Last week, Calgary defeated Winnipeg 32-21 to clinch an eighth consecutive trip to the CFL playoffs.

Meanwhile, the Ticats (5-10) are coming off a 37-17 decision on home field against the BC Lions. Hamilton sits third in the East Division and is four points back of Toronto for second place and also four points behind Edmonton, which is in position to snag the crossover playoff berth.

The Stamps and Ticats previously met on Aug. 9 at Hamilton's Ivor Wynne Stadium, with Calgary picking up a 31-20 victory.

The game marks the return to McMahon of Henry Burris, who spent 10 seasons with the Red and White and is Calgary's all-time leader in numerous passing categories.

Game-day experience

As usual, the lead-up to kickoff includes pre-game tailgating and the Fun Zone located on the southeast corner of McMahon across from the Ticket Office. The Fun Zone this week will feature the Bishop Grandin Marching Band, face painting, Stampeders and Dinos players signing autographs and a DJ. In addition, the Calgary Rage women's football team will be in attendance. Fan Zone will run from 2:30-4:30 p.m.
