The Grey Cup game is Canada's largest annual sports and television event, regularly drawing a Canadian viewing audience of about 4 million.[2][3] Two awards are given for play in the game, Most Valuable Player and the Dick Suderman Trophy as most valuable Canadian player.[4]
With the exception of the current Ottawa Redblacks (whose inaugural season was in 2014) and the defunct Ottawa Renegades, all Canadian based, CFL teams of the past and present have appeared in the Grey Cup at least once. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have made the most appearances (24), while the Toronto Argonauts have won the most championships (16) and have the best record in the Grey Cup composite standings (16-6). Despite the CFL's short-lived U.S. expansion in the mid-90's, the Grey Cup was never played outside of Canada. The Baltimore Stallions were the only American team to appear in the Grey Cup (twice, losing in 1994 and winning the following year). Although the first Grey Cup game was in 1909, there were none from 1916 to 1919, so the 2012 Grey Cup was the 100th.[5] The 102nd Grey Cup was played on November 30, 2014, at BC Place in Vancouver. The Calgary Stampeders defeated the Hamilton Tiger Cats 20–16 to win their seventh championship.[6]
