Player commitment to building skills, strength, and endurance during practice is required for the Stampeders to enjoy success.
With 101 yards receiving, 242 yards rushing and a good rotation of a large roster, the team is ready to compete and contend each week.
Dominic Mandalfino looks to build on an impressive Week 1 as he had 15 carries and 162 rushing yards.

The junior varsity Stampeders’ 67-0 victory over Chatham-Kent Cougars demonstrated the disciplined and committed approach so far this season.
Ultimately, the coaching staff wants to continue their winning streak.

Overall, 550 total offensive yards on 25 carries and four interceptions last week has injected confidence for the Stampeders which they hope will continue in this week’s game.
