Sport Fan Connect hoist the Grey Cup

Posted on 19. Nov, 2009 by Mike Olaski in Interviews, The Connection

There are many perks to working with the 2009 Grey Cup Festival…….one of them being meeting guys like Dennis Dowell. Dennis works for the CFL Hall of Fame and is one of three(3) “Cup-Keepers”.  He was nice enough to let us check out the Grey Cup last night in the 2009 Grey Cup Festival offices and gave us a history lesson on this historic trophy.

This year marks the 97th Grey Cup, but did you know that the Grey Cup itself is already 100 years old?  And, did you know that the Grey Cup was originally presented as an Amateur Rugby trophy?
