It's Grey Cup week. Between 1960 and 1976, the Ottawa Rough Riders appeared in six Grey Cups and won five. 1981 was the franchise's last big hurrah. Here are some screen grabs from that 1981 game. It didn't turn out the way Ottawa players and fans wanted, but the Riders were 22.5 point dogs going in

Here's a thread of some scattered thoughts about Jordan Spence, first star of last night's Ottawa win over Utah. He is a very good and very unusual player, which is to say: my favourite kind of player.

Peace out Philly ✌
Amazing to think that just 2 years ago #PWHL was *hopeful* to draw 2,500 fans per game in Ottawa.
Not the worst thing for the #Charge to potentially have the choice between a brand new arena at Lansdowne and a brand new arena at Lebreton Flats in the next 3-6 years.

It was bad news for the PWHL and Ottawa Charge who will see up to 3,000 fans left out in the cold as Lansdowne 2.0 gets approval. It's a vote that could put the Charge's future in Ottawa in jeopardy.
