SASKATOON – The Saskatoon Blades welcome 101st Grey Cup champions into Credit Union Centre (CUC) on Saturday.
As the first stop on the Grey Cup Tour, members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders are in Saskatoon celebrating their 2013 season.
Riders such as Kory Sheets, Taj Smith, John Chick and Ben Heenan will be in attendance when the Blades host to the Lethbridge Hurricanes at CUC.
So far this Saturday, the tour has already visited Ronald McDonald House and Royal University Hospital where players visited with children and signed autographs.
The Blades game will be the only place where Saskatoon fans will have the chance to meet the Roughriders during their provincial tour.
To help deal with the larger crowd and to allow fans to get into the autograph line, the doors at CUC opened at 5:30 p.m.
