Its tough to beat a team five times in a row in the sames season - especially when it's the Battle of Alberta, as the Calgary roughnecks could not win their opening round playoff match against the Edmonton Rush.
Despite it's success on the floor, the financials off the floor were a scare to the Calgary Roughnecks, their fans and the league. That is until the team was (finally) sold by Brad Bannister to someone (after trying to find a potential investor for over a year). To that point, they had won in 2004 and 2009 - their only two championship appearances. Then many Riggers fans said they took a change for the worse. Particularly the changing of the mascot to a honey badger prior to the beginning of this season.
The team has never finished below third in the West in any season and have made the playoffs every year except for the team's inaugural (2001-)2002 season. This was one of few seasons that started before New Year's Day, specifically November 16, the earliest to date.
The concept may seem bland at first, but upon a closer look, you will see layered bricks along the sides of the home and road jerseys.
Now that that has been taken care of, I can safely wait until tomorrow to talk about our Division Finalists. Later!
