1975 Grey Cup
People who attended that game are only now thawing out. The temperature was brutal (-25) and the wind was worse (25 kilometres an hour). The weather was so severe that even in the press box the windows froze over and reporters had to scrape off the ice to watch the game. One of the highlights of the day was the appearance of a female streaker during the national anthems. She wore nothing but a veil. Probably for the warmth.
1993 West Division final
This was the game in which quarterback Doug Flutie's hands turned into ice blocks. Wally Buono, then the coach of the Calgary Stampeders, was so irked by seeing his players huddled around the sideline heaters he ordered them turned off before halftime. Twenty minutes later, they tried to turn them back on but couldn't. The heaters were frozen and so were the Stampeders.
1994 West Division final
Not quite so cold as the year before, but with a lot more snow. Darren Flutie's last-play touchdown sent the B.C. Lions to the Grey Cup and his brother, Doug, to a hot shower.
