Before the roar of Mosaic\u202fStadium, there was Taylor\u202fField, and a small team taking a big step onto the national stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On May 21, 1946, the Regina\u202fRoughriders officially joined what would become the Canadian\u202fFootball\u202fLeague. Saskatchewan fans had supported the Riders since\u202f1910 when they were known as the Regina Rugby Club.<\/p>\n

Post-war expansion brought the team into the national spotlight. Over the years, championships, heartbreaks, and Grey\u202fCup parades forged an identity bigger than the game of football itself.<\/p>\n

The Saskatchewan Roughriders remain a reflection of the best of Saskatchewanians\u2026 loyal, and tough with blood that runs green and white. True Rider pride.<\/p>\n
