CFL Game Day: Saskatchewan at Hamilton (June 29, 2012)

The new look Hamilton Tiger Cats ( a rather extensive line up overhaul gives them the "new look" title this year)  kicks off the finale to Ivor Wynne Stadium on Friday night with a visit by the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Riders face another challenging season, their Grey Cup appearance of a few years ago overshadowed by a rather disappointing 2011 campaign, turning around that spot of misery for Rider fans is job one in Regina, where moving backwards is not an option.

In Hamilton, they've assembled a rather impressive group to bring down the old yard, with Henry Burris at the controls of what could very well be one of the most exciting offensive squads to take to a CFL field this year.

Below you can find some information on the game, previews and then reviews as well as some other items of note to set the scene.
