Green and White Finish Mini-Camp “Teaser” for Rider Nation

By Les Lazaruk Apr 25, 2018 | 2:58 PM

The two-day football appetizer, in advance of next month’s training camp, came to an end Wednesday morning in Bradenton, Florida.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders finished up mini-camp with 32 players.

“There were a lot of talented guys down here,” assessed G-M and head coach Chris Jones (pictured) following completion of Wednesday’s session. “I thought that our personnel department did a good job of bringing the right guys down. I thought our quarterbacks, in both camps, did real well. It was a great group!”

Jones signed import receiver Donta Armstrong Wednesday morning while releasing a trio of players…Canadian running back Johnny Augustine plus receivers Brett Blaszko, a Canadian, and import Jacoby Ford. Main training camp for the Green and White opens May 20 with Jones saying that anywhere from 12 to 15 of the players at the mini camp are likely to be invited to Saskatoon.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
