Great day at St. Mary's High School as player Jayden McMillen received the Glenn (Keeper) McWhinney for football dedication. The award also features a $5000 scholarship! McMillen broke his leg in Grade 11, but came back to play a full year in Grade 12. #cfhof #cssd #dedication

POLL RESULTS: Sorry Elks fans. Stampeder fans aren't rallying behind you. Our on-line poll has 68 % believing Montreal wins. But 44 % say the margin will be seven points or less. A close, Montreal win.

POLL: The Elks and the Als meet at McMahon Stadium for the Grey Cup on the weekend! Who wins?

Essay; Two teams are coming to Calgary while two pack their gear. I look at the fallout from Division Final Saturday: markstephen.substack.com/p/o…

INSTA-ANALYSIS: Spurred on a a pro-Elks crowd at McMahon Stadium, Edmonton will return home with the Grey Cup. Cody Fajardo will again put the team on his back and win another Grey Cup (last one with Als in 23). Elks defense will again stand tall. Close, taut game, Elks by 4.

Big, boisterous crowd at Commonwealth Stadium for West Final.

Tidbit: While 1975 was a dud, those teams met in 2005. That game was an OT classic won by Edmonton. That was their last meeting. – at Edmonton, Alberta

Tidbits: Montreal and Edmknton met in the first Grey Cup game in Calgary in 1975. Because of cold and wind, it was one of the worst GC games ever. Edmonton won 9-8. – at Edmonton, Alberta

UPDATE:Elks defeated BC 28-16 before a frenzied crowd of 40, 000 at Commonwealth Stadium. – at Edmonton, Alberta
