Nick Arbuckle, it appears, is woefully unprepared.

Not as a player.

The new Calgary Stampeders quarterback has all the tools head coach Dave Dickenson is looking for.

But he may have underestimated what a Canadian fall/winter feels like.

“It’s my first time in Canada,” Arbuckle said after joining the club’s practice roster on Tuesday.

“It’s a little bit different than Georgia was, that’s for sure.

“I don’t even own a jacket.”

That may have changed by the end of the day.

But, despite a biting breeze during Tuesday’s workout, Arbuckle was all smiles after throwing a few balls.

He was among six players – all internationals – added by the Stamps on Tuesday as CFL practice rosters expanded from 10 to 15 players.

Also joining the practice roster are receiver Devonte Robinson, defensive back Joel Ross and defensive linemen Perez Ford, Josh Francis and Jason Neill.

Of course, none of the new additions will be in the lineup when the Stamps visit the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday (2 p.m., TSN/News Talk 770).
