Back in 2007 The Saskatchewan Roughriders won the Grey Cup. I was lucky enough that my mom knew a lady who worked for the Riders and I was able to try on the 2007 Grey Cup ring. I will age myself now by saying I was only 9 and my sister was only 4. So that should put some perspective in for just how big these rings are.
2013 was a little bit of a different year. My family was lucky enough to be given tickets to a few different games one being the last game before the playoff started. Our seat just so happened to be right next to the exit for the Riders locker room. As the team was leaving the field after the game Darian Durant handed me the toque he was wearing. Later that same year the Riders won the Grey Cup! So of course we did when everyone else in Saskatoon decided to do. We got into our car and headed to 8th street to go for a celebration cruz. I was also lucky enough to skip school and go down to Regina for the Grey Cup parade. While I was in Regina I was lucky enough to meet a few Riders including Superman himself Geroy Simon!
Also Yes that toque in the photos is the toque from Darian.
