The Edmonton Elks and the Montreal Alouettes are in Calgary ahead of Sunday’s 113th Grey Cup final.
The Story
The Edmonton Elks will play in the Grey Cup for the first time since winning their last title in 2015, after posting a 13-5 record to finish first in the West Division. Edmonton ended a five-year playoff drought and then defeated the B.C. Lions 28-16 in Saturday’s division final.
The Montreal Alouettes finished first in the East with a league-best 14-4 record before downing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 33-23 in Saturday’s division final.
The two teams split their two-game regular-season series, with each winning at home. The Grey Cup trophy also arrived in Calgary on Monday, accompanied by traditional bagpipes and a Canadian Forces escort, as dozens of soldiers involved in a deadly fire at CFB Wainwright, southeast of Edmonton, were honoured.
