Roughriders hold private memorial for Joe McKnight
While Joe McKnight’s funeral was being held in Louisiana, a small private ceremony was also happening in Regina.
Roughrider players, coaches and staff gathered in the Green and White Lounge Monday morning to remember McKnight.
A picture of the running back along with his jersey, locker nameplate and helmet hung at the front of the room. Team Chaplin Jared LaCoste spoke for about 15 minutes, sharing his memories of McKnight and words of comfort to those who attended.
McKnight hadn’t actually been with the team all that long, but according to everyone who knew him, he made a big impact on those around him.
