The Saskatchewan Roughriders almost made it half-way back from its post-COVID-19 pandemic financial losses.

At the Green and White’s Annual General Meeting Tuesday evening in Regina, Chief Financial Officer Kent Paul revealed that the Riders made a profit of $3.9 million on their 2021-22 fiscal year operations, as of March 31. The 2021 season saw the return to action for Saskatchewan and the C-F-L, albeit shorter and condensed compared to normal. The 2020-21 fiscal year financial report from the Roughriders showed a loss of $8.4 million in operations as there was no season because of the pandemic. Paul reported that revenues in the past fiscal year were up from 2020-21, but tempered that fact somewhat…..

Riders’ President and C-E-O Craig Reynolds (pictured) said recovering from a lost C-F-L season due to the COVID-19 pandemic would be a multi-year process. Alluding to the positive numbers reported Tuesday evening, Reynolds says the credit goes to the Saskatchewan fans…..

Rider revenues in 2020-21 were about $34 million compared to approximately $30 million in expenses.
