The Elks have released veteran receiver Kenny Stafford. Depending on the price, I think he would be a fine addition to the Stamps who have a very young and inexperienced receiving corps.

I don't know if any of you have gone to Black Betty Day during training camp. But its something that you have to do at least once in your life just to watch the reaction of the rookies about 30 minutes into the practice.

I'd rather have the 75 on the jersey, and the normal helmet.

I saw that helmet sitting on the table during the press availabilities and thought it was just rigged up for those instances. I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. Probably fine for one year.

We already have a new throwback jersey, so I like having the new helmet logo for this year. Having it only on one side is somewhat unique, but I don't mind it.

George Hopkins has done a good job with our uniforms over the years (IMO), including helmets and jerseys.

Two weeks until the home opener. Does any other season ticket holder know when we will have access to our tickets? I’m paid in full but my account just says you have no tickets to upcoming events. I’m assuming they just do t have there new digital system up and running yet? Does anyone else have ticket access yet?

Nothing showing for me either. I’m guessing they’re running behind getting everything loaded in; since everything is digital this year I wouldn’t worry about it — it’ll show up eventually I’m sure.

Just an FYI for STHers -- in addition to moving to online ticketing this year, I also came across this:

Quote:
Can I still exchange my tickets from a missed game to a future game?

Yes, you can exchange any unused games or upcoming games for additional tickets to any game in the regular season. In 2021, you will be able to exchange your tickets directly through myStamps Account. If you have any questions please contact the Customer Service Team.
https://www.stampeders.com/2021-guide-mcmahon-stadium/

I haven't used the "ticket exchange" program before (it was initially limited to games "missed" but later changed to include future games as well) but I probably will this year and thought I'd mention it in case anyone else can take advantage.

I see the tickets are there today finally.

With the news that Power would be out long term, the Stamps reached out and signed McCarty, the longtime Edmonton Elks running back who had retired earlier this season.

“I talked to him first, I wanted to make sure he wants to play,” Dickenson said. “He definitely wanted to play, he just didn’t have an offer he felt was a legit offer. He wants to play and wants to be part of a football team that has a chance to do some good things. I always respected the way he played. He as strong mentally but also physically. He’s always been a thorn in our side.”
Quote:
The Stampeders are hoping to get Ucambre Williams practising again soon, but there is no firm timeline on that.

Williams has missed almost all of training camp. He’s a veteran, so that’s manageable, but is also being moved to left tackle, so getting reps in matters. For a team that’s got an extremely new-look offensive line, getting some continuity going is important, too.
Quote:
As for Mitchell, he missed all of Monday’s practice. The Stampeders would like to get their star quarterback some more work in the final week of camp, but it’s understood that he’s experiencing some soreness and they won’t rush him back.

“I’d like to think we could ramp it up a little before the end of camp, but if his body is not telling him that it feels like he should, then we listen,” Dickenson said. “We have used this as an opportunity to look at the other guys, but we missed him out there today.”
Quote:
Dakota Prukop hit Ka’Deem Carey with a gorgeous pass and continues to impress … Still no Cory Greenwood. Still no Connor McGough


And best of all...

Quote:
Casanova McKinzy took a lot of reps with the defensive line starters
Thats right...we have the only Casanova.

I think Prukop has the inside line on the backup role. He also looks to be very athletic and could be a version of Chris Streveler for the Stamps.

Thanks for posting that. I actually had no idea that you could even do this. I had always just been either selling or giving away tickets I couldn't use.

Cassanova is going to attend a family matter so he'll have to quarantine when he gets back, thus the retired list. Team is hoping he comes back.

Surprised Trey Williams was let go. He was getting positive feedback. As well was Bane.
I think Guthrie was hurt the whole time. Not surprised by Prukop being let go.

Some might get PR spots.

Interesting. I wonder if they go with O'Connor or Maier as the backup QB.
