Justin, who is 22 years old will be a good fit for the Riders and the players should be able to relate to him as he’s just a couple of years removed from being one of the inmates himself, so he’ll know what they are going through.
Peers played three seasons with the Riders, had a scoring touch and was a very likeable guy with a great sense of humour... he even mugged for this tweet one summer when he was working at Fernie Home Building Centre.
How can you not like a guy like that.
Next up is the Ghostriders Main Camp on the weekend of August 17-19.
Players who want to attend camp can get hold of

At one time we were told it was going to be in place by August 1st...
At one time we were told it was going to be in place by August 1st...
On July 30th I asked Mayor Mary Giuliano via email if the arena would be open on time and her reply was.
“Were waiting on some information to make a final decision. It does look like this date (Sept 10th) is possible and certainly everyone is going for it.”
This report says the workers were not aware of the danger a small hole in the “Chiller” presented.
Betting the lawyers are salivating so much they’ll need floor drains in their offices.
