Roughriders release 2017 schedule, open season against Durant
It’ll be the Riders versus the Blue Bombers to open the new Mosaic Stadium in Regina.
The CFL unveiled the 2017 schedule on its website Tuesday morning and it has Winnipeg travelling to Regina for the first pre-season game on June 10.
The Roughriders first regular season game, however, will likely be the one everyone will be anticipating as the green and white travel to Montreal to play Darian Durant and the Alouettes.
Durant was traded to the Alouettes last month after he and the Riders were unable to reach a deal to keep him in Saskatchewan. A week later, he inked a two-year deal with the Als.
