Special night for the Tiger-Cats as they retire Garney Henley's number 26 before the game. The legendary defensive back is only the third player to have his number retired by Hamilton and is a four-time Grey Cup champion as well as the CFL's Most Outstanding Player in 1972. Henley was named to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1979.
Today, we honour an all-time great

The Tiger-Cats depth chart. Veteran Bo Levi Mitchell gets the start behind centre, and look for former 1,000 yard receiver Kenny Lawler to be one of his favourite targets. Like the Riders, the TiCats are banged up on the offensive line, so both teams will be hoping next-man-up will play a role in winning the trench battle.
The Roughriders depth chart. AJ Ouellette is back starting at running back after leaving early with a head injury aganst Ottawa last week. Ka'Deem Carey suits up in his first game as a Rider as Ouellette's back-up. Jacob Brammer is back on the offensive line after recovering from a back injury, Daniel Johnson gets his first start at left tackle. U of R product Jaxon Ford gets the start at free safety.
It’s Week 2 in the Canadian Football League, with the Saskatchewan Roughriders taking on the Hamilton Tiger Cats in Hamilton!
The Green and White are coming off a 31-26 win in their opening game of the season back on June 5, while Hamilton dropped a 38-26 decision to the Calgary Stampeders last Saturday.
A full house is expected at Hamilton Stadium for the Tiger-Cats home opener, and it’ll be a beautiful day for a football game with temperature around 18 C at kickoff with clear skies and winds blowing 14 km/h from the east.
