Wrapping it up.
The Stamps kicked off the last week of their 2024 campaign Tuesday morning.
Players were met with a chill in the air and a dusting of snow on the turf, but in true Calgary fashion the sun was shining, and the snow had melted by the end of practice.
The curtains on a disappointing season will come to a close with the Red and White’s final game of the campaign slated for Saturday against the Roughriders in Regina at 5 p.m.

Who’s Starting?
General manager and head coach Dave Dickenson made clear that the starting pivot for Saturday’s finale remains to be determined. However, he did confirm that QB P.J. Walker will not dress.
Although Matt Shiltz returned from an injury he suffered in the third quarter to close out last Friday’s contest against the Ticats, the 31-year-old did not practice in today’s session. Dickenson is optimistic Shiltz’s health could improve before the team heads to Saskatchewan at the end of the week, keeping him open as another option to play.
One More Shot
“I’m counting on these guys to give me their best, and hopefully we’ll come out of there with a win,” Dickenson told reporters on earning that elusive road win and ending the team’s losing streak away from McMahon Stadium in their last contest of the season.
To end on a high note, the Stamps will have to give it everything they’ve got as they prepare for a Corey Mace-led team that’s fighting for first place in the West Division against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
