Opening night honorary puck dropper Chris "Ipper" Ipson

Our honorary puck dropper for opening night was Chris 'Ipper' Ipson, otherwise known as the Hardest Working Person in Hockey. Ipper has been the backbone of the Roughriders' organization for the past 12 years, juggling double duty as the team's athletic trainer and equipment manager, which is unheard of these days. After a remarkable 44-year career doing what he loves, Ipper decided it was time to retire, kind of... He is still deeply involved with the team, holding the title of Special Ops Director. The team surprised Ipper with a special video tribute from former RoughRiders to cap off his special night, ending with the puck drop. A big thank you to Ipper for all he has done and the lives he's impacted for the last 44 years. The RoughRiders are excited to have him still involved with the team in his new position.
