Tonight’s game will be full of events including the announcement of the winner of the 2022 13th fan award. The incredible honour will be presented at the end of the first quarter by last year’s winners Ron and Connie.

The day will start off with some reflection and a special ceremony to remember, recognize, and honour the victims of the tragic events that occurred in James Smith Cree Nation. The Club is honoured to have members of the community attend the game and they will be given orange jerseys to Chiefs of the James Smith Cree Nation prior to kick-off as a symbol of the Riders’ support.

As the day continues, the team will also be throwing out autographed footballs into the stands as part of one of many giveaways. Fans might also be able to snag Riders water bottles, bottle openers, Coors Light/Pilsner Swag.

At halftime, one lucky fan will be going home with a brand-new car for Capital Auto Mall Pick 6 giveaway. The winner will choose one of six brand-new vehicles to take home.
