The Grey Cup doesn’t seem to like being in Winnipeg. That’s where the Lions broke it in 2006. It was welded back together at a Winnipeg metal shop.

I guess not even after designing a brand new base for the Grey Cup trophy did it result in a more secure and stronger connection from the cup from its base. :sigh:

At least since they are taking the cup to Winnipeg ,they can revisit Quest Metal Products and have this welder, Ben Klumper, fix it again some 13 years later.

I'm sure he'll be flattered to work on that trophy again for a second time.

Is it time to re-design the Grey Cup trophy altogether given its current design makes so fragile and breaks after usual wear and tear. I'm not aware of any other sports championship trophy that gets damaged so easily by simply holding it in various ways.

祝加拿大加式足球聯賽不列颠哥伦比亚卑詩雄獅隊今年贏格雷杯冠軍。此外祝溫哥華加人隊贏總統獎座·卡雲斯·甘保杯·史丹利盃。還每年祝溫哥華白頭浪隊贏美國足球大联盟杯。不要忘記每年祝溫哥華巨人贏西部冰球聯盟冠軍。
改建後的卑詩體育館於二十十一年九月三十日重新對外開放,首場體育活動為同日舉行的加拿大足球聯賽賽事,由主場的卑詩雄獅隊以三十三比二十四擊敗愛民頓愛斯基摩人隊。
祝你龍年行大運。
恭喜西雅图海鹰直到第四十八屆超級盃最終四十三比八大勝曾拿下兩次超級盃冠軍的丹佛野馬拿下隊史第一個超級盃冠軍。
