The Airdrie Raiders Midget Football will finally hit the field for their first game of the 2018 season tonight (April 13th).

The Raiders were originally supposed to start the season last Friday but the Calgary Spring Football League cancelled all games due to snow and ice on the fields.

Now that the weather has cleared up, the Raiders are pumped and ready to go for another year hoping to build on their Division III Championship from last season.

The Raiders take on the Rebels at 8:30 tonight at the Hellard Field at Shouldice Athletic Park in Calgary.
