Welcome 🙏 to Grey Cup week as we look forward to a trek to Calgary for the Canadian Football League’s Super Bowl 🏈 game !

While I have never been a fan of the term ” Bucket 🪣 List,” there is still one item left I want to check off the list and will do so this Sunday !

I’ve been watching CFL ball since Dad was stationed in Quonset Point, Rhode Island, in the late 1960s. I have even been to a handful of the current stadiums 🏟 but never to the Championship game.

The two best teams in the league this season punched their tickets 🎟 on Saturday afternoon, meaning that the game should be an entertaining one.

The Edmonton Elks were the one CFL team that changed their name in the politically correct manner as the franchise was long known as the Eskimos.

East versus West in its purest form. Big city, French speaking versus the wild, wild west ( 3,500+ kilometers separate the cities ).

Calgary is the host city this year and is home to the Stampede and the village where they hosted the Olympics back in the day (1980s). Banff is just over the mountains from the city

Elks versus Birds 🐦

Only 6 more days !!!

Sunday afternoon on The Hill Vickey Ritchie and Friends gathered to chase inclusion & score some baskets 🧺!!

” Eighteen participating in the scrimmage at the end of “Thanksgiving’s a-comin’”basketball for CCSO today, but first they did an excellent star drill. Now for a break till Nov 22nd! So proud of these players.”

Thank you, Coach Ritchie, and I’m looking forward to seeing 👀 everyone on the 22nd !
