1912 The Hamilton Alerts won the Grey Cup, be Alert because the world needs more Lerts.
1927 & 1930 The Toronto Balmy Beach won the cup. I didn't know Toronto had balmy beaches, their tourism department needs to get this news out.
Wikipedia has Hamilton winning the cup 8 times but the Tigercats web site says 15.
1995 A dark day for the CFL, the Baltimore Stallions won the Grey Cup. The only tiem a team not from Canada won.
And for fun Lauren S. from the Hamilton Tigercats cheer team
Lauren is a personal trainer, who if she could play in the CFL would be an inside linebacker. To all the people who have never been to Ticat game she says "Oskee Wee Wee."
