Ivey received the top grade (72.1) among all offensive linemen. The starting left tackle for the Elks led a group that was named the best offensive line unit for August. The offensive line helped the Elks to rise to be the No. 1 offence in the CFL in points scored (313) and touchdowns (34). The Elks have averaged 185 yards rushing in four games.

The Elks will face the Calgary Stampeders on Labour Day. 630 CHED will have live coverage starting with Countdown to Kickoff at 2:30 p.m. The opening kickoff from McMahon Stadium in Calgary will be at 4 p.m.
