Saskatchewan Roughriders News Release
Rider Nation, we sense a storm brewing.
This Friday, we're turning Mosaic Stadium into a Prairie Blizzard. Join thousands of fans in creating a sea of white as the Saskatchewan Roughriders debut their one-of-a-kind Prairie Blizzard uniforms against the Toronto Argonauts.
Bleed Green. Wear White. Kickoff is at 7 p.m.
To add to the occasion, the Roughriders will be giving away the game-worn jerseys in a special "jerseys off our back" promotion after the game is over. This a unique opportunity for fans to get a piece of Roughrider lore, as it will be the only time the Prairie Blizzard jerseys will be worn! This contest is only available to fans in attendance. Fans who scan into Mosaic Stadium will automatically be entered for a chance to win a jersey which will be handed off to them by the player themselves at the conclusion of the game. Winning fans will receive an email with instructions on the process by the end of the first half.
Get ready for an electric pre-game experience packed with energy and entertainment from start to finish. Saskatchewan's Nino Hernandez from Porcupine Plain will perform the national anthem before kickoff. Get ready for the Prairie Blizzard Bundle Up Relay! Two teams of three will go head-to-head in a fast-paced race featuring a variety of winter-themed activities and challenges. This exciting pre-game competition will bring the energy, laughs, and a little friendly rivalry before kickoff.
At halftime, Mosaic Stadium is about to get even louder as the Pepsi Summer Concert Series kicks off with rising Canadian artist JIMI. Known for blending modern rock, country and blues with powerful vocals and electrifying guitar work, JIMI is quickly becoming one of Canada's most exciting emerging artists. With more than 600,000 followers and millions of online views, she has captured audiences across the country. After touring Western Canada with Cameron Whitcomb and collaborating with Canadian music icon Bryan Adams, JIMI is set to bring her bold, authentic energy to Rider Nation in a must-see halftime performance.

Week 3
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are off to a blazing start, improving to an undefeated record (2-0) after a strong performance against the Calgary Stampeders. With big plays on both sides of the ball, the Green and White continue to build momentum as they look ahead. In each of the past two seasons, Saskatchewan has started 4-0, and the team is looking to continue that trend as they chase another strong opening stretch.
Quarterback Trevor Harris continues to make history, tying Dieter Brock for the 14th-most touchdown passes in CFL history with 210 career touchdown passes. Harris has been efficient through the first two games of the season, completing 73.6 per cent of his passes for 766 yards and six touchdowns.
The offence has been firing on all cylinders, led by wide receiver Kian Schaffer-Baker, who has made an immediate impact through the first two games of the season. His 19 catches for 295 yards and two touchdowns mark the second-best receiving yard total in team history through two games, trailing only Jeff Fairholm's 324 yards in 1993.
The defence has been just as impressive, allowing just one passing touchdown through the first two games. Defensive end James Vaughters has made his presence felt early, recording a sack in each of his first two games as a Roughrider. Middle linebacker Jameer Thurman has been a force in the middle, recording eight defensive tackles in each of the first two games. Including the 2025 Grey Cup, Thurman has now recorded 27 tackles over his last three games and is just five defensive tackles away from reaching 550 in his career.
