Jim Hopson |
Jim Hopson came on board in 2005 as the Roughriders’ first Chief Executive Officer and over the past four years, fans have seen many changes on and off the field. The changes and a focus on excellence in all areas of the operation culminated in the team claiming the 2007 Grey Cup championship. A new level of expectations has been set and Hopson is focused on building long term stability with championship level football and strong business acumen.
There has been a renewed focus on community involvement by the club and a significant number of players are now working in and making Regina their year round home and being very involved in the community. Hopson leads by example as he spends numerous hours in the provincial community speaking to community groups, at charity events, and presenting to business groups.
Off the field, the Riders are continuing to excel as a business as the team continues to attain record profits. Over the past few years, the organization has won Paragon Awards for both marketing and community involvement. These have all been steps in achieving the level of excellence Hopson desires for the organization.
The focus on evolving the business side of the organization has brought forth acknowledgement on a number of levels. In 2008, the Roughriders were named as one of Saskatchewan’s Top 100 Companies. Earlier this year Hopson was recognized by Saskatchewan Business Magazine as one of the province’s most influential men and most recently was inducted by Junior Achievement into their Business Hall of Fame.
Hopson’s role with the Roughriders includes overseeing all of the operations of the football club, and he brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to that role. Prior to re-joining the Roughriders Hopson spent 30 years as a teacher, principal and Director of Education/CEO in Saskatchewan.
Hopson’s roots in Saskatchewan football run deep. He began his football career in high school with the Thom Collegiate Trojans. He then went on to play for the Regina Rams prior to joining the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1973.
Hopson became a starter in 1974 and lined up at guard or tackle for each game during the season. Hopson played four seasons with Saskatchewan and helped open holes for the likes of legendary back George Reed, and in protecting quarterback great Ron Lancaster.
