The Stampeders return to regular-season action on Friday with a trip to Hamilton to face the dramatically improved Tiger-Cats. Kickoff at Tim Hortons Field is at 5 p.m. MDT and the game will be broadcast on TSN, ESPN 2, News Talk 770 and Sirius XM 167.

The Stamps (12-1-1) carry a 10-game winning streak into the contest including a 60-1 rout over the Ticats in Calgary on July 29. That loss was part of an 0-8 start for Hamilton but the Ticats (4-10) have since turned their season around with four wins in the past six games including a 30-13 victory in Winnipeg on Friday

The Stamps were on a bye last week and their most recent game was a 59-11 home-field win over Montreal on Sept. 29.

The Stamps head into Week 17 with a five-point lead over the Blue Bombers at the top of the West Division while the Ticats are five points back of Ottawa for second place in the East.

Calgary is 5-1-1 on the road this season and sports the same record against East Division opponents. Hamilton is 1-6 at home and 2-7 against the West.
