The Saskatoon Hilltops are aiming for a national championship, while the University of Saskatchewan Huskies will face off against the University of Regina Rams in the Hardy Cup. Additionally, the Saskatchewan Roughriders will battle the B.C. Lions in the CFL Western Division final, with a Grey Cup spot on the line.
The Huskies and Rams, both top teams with records of 7-1 and 6-2 respectively, will kick off the action on Saturday at Griffiths Stadium in Saskatoon. This game is a rematch of last year’s Hardy Cup, where the Rams emerged victorious.
Both teams’ coaches, Scott Flory for the Huskies and Mark McConkey for the Rams, anticipate a tough and closely contested match. The Rams will be without star running back Marshall Erichsen, while the Huskies may miss quarterback Anton Amunrud due to injury.

On Sunday, the Saskatoon Hilltops will host the Okanagan Sun in the Canadian Junior Football League national championship. The Hilltops, a dominant force in junior football history, are determined to claim their 24th national title after a challenging season.
