‘Grey Cup champions forever’: Riders’ players continue celebration with parade

The Saskatchewan Roughriders kept the party going back in Regina.

Players rode down the Green Mile on Albert Street to the Legislative Building with beers and celebratory cigars still in hand. There, they were greeted by thousands of fans to show their support for the team.

Saskatchewan won its fifth-ever CFL championship on Sunday when it defeated the Montreal Alouettes 25-18 in Winnipeg, Man.

Quarterback Trevor Harris, who was the Grey Cup’s Most Valuable Player, spoke to the crowd as questions still circle over whether he will play another season or call it a career.

He told the fans he appreciated all the love they are receiving from them.

“This is your guys’ moment as well. We’ve always had the best fans in the league and now we have the best team in the league to match you guys,” Harris said.

“It’s been awesome that this is our fifth title, but something we have never done is go back-to-back, so let’s go ahead and start talking about that. Let’s run it back next year and go get it done there. We have the best coach in the league and we will have the best team in the league next year.”

So does that mean Harris had made a decision on his future? Not quite.

“I just think any time you have Corey Mace here and the leadership we have with (Jeremy O’Day) and Kyle Carson, and Larry Dean, you’re always going to have a chance at (winning the cup). We will see. I will sit down with J.O. at some point, probably this week, and then I’ll talk to my wife and go from there,” Harris said.

“It’s not a physical deterioration thing. I’ve always said for a long time that it won’t be for a physical reason. We will kind of see how it goes. This sure is awesome and it has been breathtaking to see what this means to the city.”

The celebration exceeded the lofty expectations offensive lineman Jermarcus Hardrick had for it.

“It’s just amazing to see the young fans and the old fans and everyone just happy. We got the Grey Cup. We did it for the city, we did it for the province,” Hardrick said. “It’s home.”

Offensive lineman Logan Ferland was enjoying the party as well as the Melfort, Sask. product, who seemingly borrowed the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly’s hat for the festivities.

“Shoutout, Mr. speaker Todd Goudy. Thank you for your hat sir. We are Grey Cup champs forever, baby,” Ferland said before chugging a beer out of the trophy.

He said it has been great to be able to spend this time with Rider Nation.

“It means everything. More than I ever expected,” Ferland said as the crowd started to cheer again. “Look at these guys. They embody Rider Nation.”

Slotback Kian Schaffer-Baker was one of the players who went up to the balcony of the Legislative Building and raised the cup from up there.

“Green every. Green is beautiful and that’s all I wanted to see,” Schaffer-Baker said.

The Riders will clear out their lockers on Wednesday as the offseason begins for the team.
