Canada will play its preliminary round opener against Finland today (12 p.m.) at the 2022 World Women's Hockey Championship in Herning, Denmark. The Canadians won the 2021 world title last August in Calgary as well as gold at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Defensemen Jocelyne Larocque of Ste. Anne and Ashton Bell of Deloraine along with goaltender Kristen Campbell of Brandon are on Canada's roster.
 

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers (9-1) meet the Calgary Stampeders (6-3) tonight at IG Field. The opening kick off is at 7:30 p.m. The Bombers, who are coming off their first bye week of the season, won nine straight games before losing 20-17 in overtime to the Montreal Alouettes in week 10. Receivers Greg Ellingson and Janarian Grant will not play against the Stampeders. Ellingson was placed on the six-game injured list with a foot problem while Grant is dealing with a groin injury. Calgary head coach Dave Dickenson confirmed that quarterback Jake Maier will get the start against Winnipeg replacing Bo Levi Mitchell who struggled in the Stampeders victory over the Argonauts in Toronto last weekend. Mitchell was 9-of-16 for 149 yards and two interceptions in the first half against the Argos.
