The Calgary Stampeders make their way to Millarville Thursday as part of their annual "March Madness" basketball season.

Stamps Fullback and Cochrane Native Rob Cote says they're always excited to bring the particular "brand" of basketball to the Foothills.

"It's a blast! Especially for a guy like my who's from rural Alberta myself. I know what it means to a small community to have the 'big football guys' come out and embarrass themselves on the basketball court in front of everybody. So we're looking forward to it."

The game's a 1 o'clock start at the Millarville Community School.
