It was a case of good news and bad news regarding the Saskatchewan Roughriders injury situation following Week 1 of the 2025 Canadian Football League (CFL) season. 

The Roughriders (1-0) head to Hamilton (0-1) for a matchup against the Tiger-Cats on Saturday.  

After a 31-26 win over Ottawa in the CFL season opener last Thursday, the Saskatchewan Roughriders will be looking to improve their record to 2-0 when they visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday.

The Roughriders offense exploded in the middle quarters of their season opener, scoring all 31 points between the second and third frames to build a strong lead over Ottawa. Despite a late push from the Redblacks, Saskatchewan's defense held strong with key sakcs to close out the four-point win.

After having the original home opener postponed due to smoke, Thursday marked the first home game for the club and it was worth the wait, as they defeated FCNW Nex Gen 9-0.

It didn't take long before the Kickers were celebrating a goal when AliRezza Hosseini hit it to corner to put Hanover up 1-0.

The lead would grow just 3 minutes later, again by AliRezza, who took a corner kick and curled it into the goal.

Pushing the score to 3-0 thanks to Derek Bergen in the 10th minute from a great give and go from Braxton Phommorath and he rifled it in top corner.

The MJHL's all-time winningest coach has decided to continue his run with the Portage Terriers, without much deliberation.

The Okotoks Dawgs came from behind to pick up an 11–9 win over the Moose Jaw Miller Express on Thursday, splitting a two-game series.

The Miller Express held a 4–0 lead before giving up seven unanswered runs between the fourth and seventh innings. 

The U17 Panther Drilling Weyburn Thrashers wrapped up their regular season with a 5-2 win over the Regina Chaos Green Thursday night at Crescent Point Place. 

Chanse Vigen, who now calls Calgary home, finished in first place after one night of racing at the Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede.

Vigen, defending his title, raced through on a slow, somewhat muddy track in a penalty-free time of 1:05.07.

Locally, High River's Jason Glass came in 13th, with DeWinton's Dayton Sutherland coming in 21st and Blackie's Jordie Fike came through in 30th but he did get dinged for a two second penalty for a false start.

Jason Glass is in first place in the world standings. 

A dramatic seventh inning proved to be the turning point as the Weyburn Beavers powered past the Regina Red Sox 7-4 Thursday night at Tom Laing Park, thanks to clutch hitting, strong pitching, and some emotional fireworks.
