USask to host Roughriders training camp
SASKATOON – The Saskatchewan Roughriders are returning to Saskatoon for Coors Light Training Camp as part of a three-year agreement with the University of Saskatchewan (USask).
This year’s training camp will run from May 15- June 3, with practices located at Griffiths Stadium in Nutrien Park from May 15-May 27. The team will host its Green and White game on May 28, before returning to Regina on May 29 for the remainder of the preseason. Rookie camp will run from May 11-13 at Griffiths Stadium.
“We are thrilled to renew our relationship with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and to have our University of Saskatchewan campus serve as the home for training camp for the next three years,” said USask President Peter Stoicheff. “We look forward to welcoming the team back to campus, including the many former Huskie Athletics student-athletes who have moved on to professional careers with the Roughriders.”
The Roughriders were last in Saskatoon for training camp in 2019 and since then USask has completed a $3.14 million turf project, resulting in an upgraded and expanded state-of-the-art safe playing surface for Huskie student-athletes and community users.
“After two years away from the University of Saskatchewan we are thrilled to have a renewed partnership with the University of Saskatchewan and to bring our team up to prepare for the 2022 season,” said Roughriders President and CEO Craig Reynolds. “We have missed being in Saskatoon and are really looking forward to spending more time with our fans located in the central part of province and beyond.”
Additional community events and fan interactions will be announced in the coming weeks.
