We’ve each carefully crafted a bang-up team, the fans have meticulously cast their votes, and it’s time to announce the team drafts for the 2018 Canadian Finals Rodeo. CFR45 is just five days away and we’re now ready to do battle with our favorite rodeo athletes that will be competing in Red Deer starting on Tuesday.

Watch the Canadian Finals Rodeo LIVE on FloRodeo October 30 to November 4.

I’m not going to say just how much I won the last team draft by, but let’s just say I’m feeling confident in my team-choosing abilities and think I’ve picked a pretty great team below. FloRodeo and Rodeo Wreck’s Gabi Jaffee has been studying up on her Canucks and fellow American’s alike, though, and she is bringing the heat with her team. 

This time, we wanted to up the ante though and compete against our expert rodeo fans – who built a darn tough team as well. We’ll keep tabs on how we’re all doing throughout the week in Red Deer and crown a champion online after the champions are crowned on the dirt.

Check out the three teams below, and if you haven’t already signed up to watch the Canadian Finals Rodeo live on FloRodeo yet, you can do that HERE.
