‘Ottawa’ Labour Day Classic Won’t be Just Another Game for Weston Dressler
Weston Dressler says he won’t be seeing red when he plays the Green and White for the first time as a member of the Blue and Gold.
The long time Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver was released in January in what the team called a cost cutting move, and it angered a good chunk of the fan base. He quickly signed on with the Bombers and, after recovering from an undisclosed injury that has kept him out since late July, is poised to return to the lineup on Sunday at Mosaic Stadium in the 54th Labour Day Classic.
That’s some pretty good timing.
“It’s kind of how it went, I guess,” Dressler said with a shrug on Wednesday. “The timing of how it all works out sometimes is kind of weird, but we’re focused to win this week regardless of who we’re playing.”
It shouldn’t be just another game for the pride of Bismarck, N.D., who burst on to the scene in Regina in 2008 and quickly became a fan favourite.
