"A chartered member of the loyal order of Saskatchewan Roughriders fans has infiltrated the Calgary Stampeders locker-room."Henry Burris started this," Calgary Flames defenceman Robyn Regehr pronounced Saturday. "It's taken me a little while to get back at him, but I finally did." The dispute dates back three years ago when Burris appeared on the television show Off the Record. Host Michael Landsberg asked the Calgary quarterback which Flames player is the biggest Stampeder fan. "Robyn Regehr," Burris responded. Wrong. So, very wrong. Regehr, of course, grew up in Rosthern, Sask. On November road trips, the rugged defenceman can often be found huddled in a hotel room watching his beloved Roughriders on the road to the Grey Cup. The plan for revenge is two-fold. The first step had Regehr wearing a green Roughriders tuque - complete with the ear flaps designed to protect against that brutal Saskatchewan wind - to Flames practice Saturday at McMahon Stadium. Defenceman Cory Sarich is also a massive Riders supporter. Schad Richea, the assistant athletic therapist, is diehard for the men in green. Still, Regehr insists he went it alone. "This is a solo mission," Regehr said. "I'm going rogue right now." True enough, but he did get some help securing the hat for the occasion."I had a friend specifically request it from the Riders," he said. "They were nice enough to send it out to me. "I think they were pretty happy when they heard what would be happening with it." For good reason. Forget the Edmonton Eskimos or Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Saskatchewan Roughriders are Calgary's biggest rival, and vice versa. And hard feelings still exist of the Stampeders' temporary ban of Gainer the Gopher, the Saskatchewan mascot, from a 2006 playoff game. Burris, of course, is a polarizing figure as a former Roughrider turned Stampeder." Read more: http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports...r gets some revenge Burris/4316384/story.html
