CALGARY – Cody Fajardo isn’t going to mess with a winning formula, not even during Grey Cup week.

The Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Elks held their final walkthroughs Saturday. That left the players and coaches with plenty of down time before Sunday’s championship game.

For many, the night before the Grey Cup is an opportunity to catch up with family over dinner. Fajardo will go out for a meal, but with teammates Justin Rankin and Austin Mack to maintain their season-long routine.

“We’re going to ditch our families (Saturday),’ Fajardo said. “We’re going to do that because we’ve got to keep the ritual the same.”

Ditto for Fajardo being the first Elk to have his ankles taped Sunday.

“That’s just something I’ve done my entire career,” he said. “After that, it’s ready to roll in the Grey Cup.”

Montreal linebacker Geoffrey Cantin-Arku will spend Saturday night with his mother, Nancy.

“My mom just got in town so I’m happy about that,” Cantin-Arku said. “I’ll go to The Keg like we do every week, normally I go with Davis (quarterback Davis Alexander) but now I’ll go with my mom.

“I’ll have the same steak and my wings, then go to bed ready to go (Sunday).”
