Three Grey Cup champions comprise the Class of 2022 for the Saskatchewan Roughriders’ Plaza of Honour.

On Monday, the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation and the Plaza of Honour Committee announced Weston Dressler, Mike McCullough and Ken Miller are this year’s inductees.

They’re to be honoured during a halftime ceremony at the Roughriders’ home game Aug. 19.

“I want to congratulate Weston, Mike and Ken on their induction into the Plaza of Honour,” Roughriders president and CEO Craig Reynolds said in a media release. “I know Rider Nation holds all three of them near and dear to their hearts, and we can’t wait to bring them home to Mosaic Stadium to celebrate all they have done for our team.”

Dressler, a product of Bismarck, N.D., joined the Roughriders in 2008 and was named the CFL’s most outstanding rookie that season.

He appeared in 123 regular-season games with Saskatchewan during his career and recorded 539 catches for 7,797 yards and 51 touchdowns. The slotback had five seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards.

Dressler also played in nine playoff games with the Roughriders, catching 44 passes for 695 yards and six TDs. He helped Saskatchewan win the 2013 CFL title at Mosaic Stadium.

Dressler was named a West Division all-star in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013 and a CFL all-star in 2012 and 2013. After being released by the Roughriders, he finished his career with three seasons as a member of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.

McCullough joined the Roughriders after being selected in the third round (23rd overall) of the 2003 CFL draft out of St. Francis Xavier University.

A product of Kingston, Ont., McCullough played all 10 years of his career with the Roughriders, appearing in 185 games. He’s second all-time in franchise history with 113 special-teams tackles.

McCullough played in four Grey Cups with Saskatchewan, winning in 2007 and ’13.

Miller was with the Roughriders from 2007 through 2011, serving as the team’s offensive co-ordinator, head coach and vice-president of football operations during his tenure.

The product of The Dalles, Ore. was hired as the Roughriders’ offensive co-ordinator in the Grey Cup-winning season of 2007 under then-head coach Kent Austin.

Miller succeeded Austin in 2008 and guided Saskatchewan to Grey Cup appearances in 2009 and ’10. He resigned as head coach in 2010 but returned to the post midway through the 2011 season.

He recorded 36 regular-season wins and three post-season victories over his career as the Roughriders’ head coach.

Since its inception, the Plaza of Honour has inducted 135 people who have made significant contributions to the club. Three teams — the 1966, 1989 and 2007 Grey Cup-winning squads — also have been enshrined.
