Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The 42nd Grey Cup is considered one of the best CFL Championship games ever played. It was held in Toronto, Ontario in 1954. Which of the following teams scored 12 points in the fourth quarter to take the game away from the Montreal Alouettes?

Answer: Edmonton Eskimos

The Edmonton Eskimos were classed as underdogs going into the 42nd Grey Cup, with some odds as high as 5 to 1 against them. In the fourth quarter, ahead by 5 points, the Alouettes scored an early touchdown, putting the score at 25 to 14. But then, Edmonton's Glen Lippman scored a touchdown after a 14-yard run.

After the convert, the gap was closed by 7. Montreal marched back to Edmonton's 10-yard line with three minutes left in the game. Montreal's Chuck Hunsinger fumbled the ball and Jackie Parker of the Eskimos picked it up and ran 90 yards for an Eskimo touchdown.

The Eskimos won the game 26-25.
2. The 50th Grey Cup, or as it became known, "The Fog Bowl", was played in Toronto Ontario in 1962. Which team won the Cup with a score of 28-27?

Answer: Winnipeg Blue Bombers

Wet, cold air from Lake Ontario mixed with the smog of Toronto to cover Toronto's Exhibition stadium in a thick fog in the second quarter. Finally in the fourth quarter, the game had to be postponed to the next day. Winnipeg was leading 28-27 when play was suspended. However, neither team scored the following day, so the Blue Bombers took the cup.
3. In 1972, the Hamilton Tiger Cats were victors in the 60th Grey Cup, which was played at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton Ontario. Which team did Hamilton beat after a low scoring game that started the fourth quarter in a 10-10 tie?

Answer: Saskatchewan Roughriders

Hamilton took the Grey Cup with a 34 yard field goal by 19 year old Ian Sunter on the last play of the game. The game ended with a score of Hamilton Tiger-Cats 13, Saskatchewan Roughriders 10.
4. The 64th Grey Cup, played in 1976, is a bad memory for me. The Saskatchewan Roughriders were beat by 3 points, after leading the game up until the end of the third quarter. Which team beat them?

Answer: Ottawa Roughriders

With 20 seconds left in the game and Saskatchewan leading by 4 points, Ottawa ended up on Saskatchewan's 24-yard line. Tom Clements passed to Tony Gabriel for a touchdown.
5. The Edmonton Eskimos won the 75th Grey Cup in 1987 by a score of 38-36, with a game-winning last second field goal by Jerry Kauric. Which team did Edmonton defeat?

The Toronto Argonauts were ahead by a score of 27-21 going into the fourth quarter. They scored nine points in the fourth quarter, but the Eskimos scored 17.
6. The 76th Grey Cup game saw two firsts. It was the first Grey Cup won by a team that had only a .500 season. The B.C Lions lost this game by one point. Which team won the 76th Grey Cup in 1988?

Answer: Winnipeg Blue Bombers

The Lions were favoured to win this game, but the Bombers defeated them by a score of 22-21. It was also the first Grey Cup game to be played by two teams west of Ontario.
7. 1989 wasn't a great year for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, until the 77th Grey Cup was played in Toronto's Skydome. With 44 seconds left on the clock in a tie game, Robo Kicker Dave Ridgway made 'The Kick' to win the game 43-40 against which team?

Answer: Hamilton Tiger-Cats

The 1989 Grey Cup is still known as one of the greatest Grey Cup games ever played.
8. The 83rd Grey Cup played in 1995 was the first Grey Cup ever to be played in Regina, Saskatchewan. It was also the first time that the Grey Cup was won by an American based team. The Baltimore Stallions won the game with a score of 37-20. Which team did they defeat?

Answer: Calgary Stampeders

The 83rd Grey Cup game is also called "The Wind Bowl", due to very strong winds gusting to 85 km/h in Regina on November 19, 1995.

From 1993 to 1995, the CFL had a total of 7 U.S based teams, but they failed to gain popularity in the U.S., and by 1996 the CFL was again completely based in Canada.
9. One of the great Grey Cup games was played in Toronto in 2007. The Saskatchewan Roughriders won the 95th Grey Cup by a score of 23-19. Who did the Roughriders defeat to win their third Grey Cup?

Answer: Winnipeg Blue Bombers

This was the first Grey Cup game that saw Saskatchewan face Winnipeg. The game was sold out with an attendance of 52,230. Kent Austin, who played quarterback for the Roughriders in the 1980s and in the 1989 Grey Cup, coached the team to victory in 2007, before once again returning to the United States.
10. The 97th Grey Cup, played in Calgary, Alberta on November 29, 2009, was a shocking game for many fans. The Saskatchewan Roughriders led the game through all four quarters. Which team came back and beat them by one point with 0 seconds showing on the clock?

Answer: Montreal Alouettes

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are known to have the most loyal fans in the CFL. Their fans have been called "The 13th Man", because they can make so much noise that they can make a difference in the performance of the Roughriders and can be a detriment to other teams.

However, in this Grey Cup game, "The 13th Man" ended up being a curse, as Damon Duval of the Montreal Alouettes missed a field goal to win the game in the last seconds. But, the Riders had one too many men on the field at the time.

Hence, the field goal was attempted for the second time and Duval was successful. The Roughriders ended up losing to the Allouettes by a score of 28-27. The 97th Grey Cup was also the most watched Grey Cup with approximately 6.1 million viewers.
