Riders Trim Players List
This past weekend I found myself at a sports memorabilia show in Regina where once you got past the hockey card collections, and they kicked the living daylight out of whatever flock I was able to collect as a kid, there was some fun Rider stuff.
I picked up a whack of Rider media guides from the 1970s and 1980s with an eye of constructing a collection starting from 1976 to the present.
You may wonder why the interest in old media guides but as an occasional fill in sports reporter, it was interesting to see how the Riders organized their information and how badly they needed an editor. The quality has picked up over the last 15 years, but what I do, since I collect jerseys, is figure out who might have been playing for the Riders when I picked up their jersey and they didn’t have a name on the back.
