Riders Fans Who Live for the Game | Winnipeg News

When the Saskatchewan Roughriders roll into town, Winnipeg fan Dave Dech doesn’t just show up—he transforms into a walking green flag, turning his bedroom into a shrine of Rider memorabilia and even vintage Riders Cola. Rooted in Regina where his dad first took him to a game as a kid, Dave’s loyalty persists despite being a Blue Bombers season-ticket holder. Alongside him, collector Lance Hackewich boasts one of the planet’s most extensive Rider collections—from game-worn cleats to a 1951 loaf of bread—built over decades since his son’s birth. Together, they embody how deep fandom transcends rivalry, turning games into generational traditions steeped in history, memory, and unshakable passion.
