“You’re playing against a very historic, high-tradition team,” Thunder head coach Scott MacAulay says. “For a lot of our young guys, they’re playing against guys they competed against in the Senior Bowl or played with on Team Saskatchewan.

“It’s definitely an exciting time in that regard, but it seems to be a bit of a different focus with our guys this year. They’re just really more concerned about our team and getting better.

“It’s exciting, right? The guys aren’t talking about the Hilltops. They’re talking about us and what we need to do better. It’s just a different take than it has been in years past.”
