Dave Dickenson is a little uneasy heading into Monday’s Labour Day Classic between his Calgary Stampeders and the Edmonton Elks at McMahon Stadium.
Stampeders look to earn win coming off long layoff against Elks on Labour Day - The Canadian PressCALGARY —
Although Edmonton coach Jarious Jackson was happy to hear that Dickenson is wary about his team’s return to action, he added that he fully expects that his counterpart will have his players ready. After reeling off three straight wins to get their season back on track, the Elks suffered a disappointing 21-17 road loss to the Montreal Alouettes on Aug. 25.
Although Calgary and Edmonton currently sit in fourth and fifth place, respectively, in the CFL’s West Division, both teams remain in striking distance of the first-place B.C. Lions and Winnipeg Blue Bombers . Receiver Jalen Philpot, who missed the entire 2023 season with a hamstring tear, is excited to play in his second Labour Day Classic contest against the Elks.
Gittens, who the Elks acquired from the Toronto Argonauts last January in a trade that saw defensive lineman Jake Ceresna go the other way, has fond memories of playing at McMahon Stadium in his rookie season in 2021 with the Argos.
