Calgary became the first city in the Canadian Prairie Provinces to host the Grey Cup championship game. The CFL changed the rules on blocking by allowing contact to be above waist level on punt returns. The two-point convert was introduced to the league, as was the option after a field goal attempt by one team (regardless of whether it was made or not) to let the opposing team either kick off or scrimmage from their own 35-yard line (the latter option was eliminated in 2009 but was reinstated the next year). Tragedy struck the CFL on October 11, when Hamilton Tiger-Cats star defensive lineman Tom Pate suffered an aneurysm in the fourth quarter against the Stampeders at McMahon Stadium. Pate never regained consciousness and died two days later at the age of 23. A year later, the CFLPA announced the Tom Pate Memorial Award in his honour to be awarded to the player who best personifies a unique combination of outstanding sportsmanship and dedication to the league and the community.

On October 18, 1975, playing against the Stampeders in Calgary, he suffered an aneurysm late in the fourth quarter during a running play deep in Hamilton territory. Pate was critically injured on the play after striking his head on the McMahon Stadium turf while being blocked by Stampeders fullback Rick Galbos. Aged 23 at the time, he never regained consciousness and died three days later. In 1976 the Canadian Football League Players' Association named its sportsmanship and community service award after him: the Tom Pate Memorial Award.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 23rd at Calgary - 32,454)

EDMONTON ESKIMOS 9, MONTREAL ALOUETTES 8 - The Grey Cup final was hosted for the first time in Alberta as Calgary’s McMahon Stadium set the stage for a rematch between the defending champion Montreal Alouettes and the Edmonton Eskimos. The game was played under extreme temperatures, as the mercury dipped to minus-15 degrees Celsius with a wind of 25 kilometres per hour. A total of 32,454 braved the elements as the Eskimos won their first Grey Cup title since 1956. As the final score indicates, this game went down to the wire. For the second straight Grey Cup backup quarterback Sonny Wade came off the Alouettes bench to replace Jimmy Jones with just 3:49 left in regulation. Trailing 9-7 and starting from the Montreal 23, Wade threw a 26-yard dart to Larry Smith. He then faked a reverse to Johnny Rodgers and threw a 46-yard pass to Joe Petty. This gave the Alouettes an opportunity for a game-winning field goal in the final minute of the game when Jones mishandled the snap from centre. Kicker Don Sweet’s 19-yard attempt sailed wide for a single point. The Eskimos then ran out the clock to preserve victory. Montreal took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter, as Sweet booted field goals of 35 and 47 yards. The Eskimos cut the lead in half in the second quarter on a 40-yard field goal by Dave Cutler. The Alouettes made it a 7-3 score before halftime when Sweet’s 32-yard field goal attempt sailed wide for a single point. The Alouettes had a chance for a touchdown in the third quarter. With a third-and-four on the Edmonton four-yard line, Montreal head coach Marv Levy opted to go for the touchdown rather than attempt a field goal into the strong wind. Rodgers swept wide on a run but failed to make the necessary yardage. Edmonton went on to take the lead by the end of the quarter, as Cutler was successful on field goals from 25 and 52 yards out. The winning kick set a Grey Cup record for longest field goal. The game featured a number of interesting feats. It was the third Grey Cup final in which a touchdown was not scored, matching the 1933 and 1937 classics. It was the only Grey Cup where one player from each team was responsible for all the points. It was the first time since 1945 that all the points were scored by Canadians.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 28th at Toronto - 53,467)

OTTAWA ROUGHRIDERS 23, SASKATCHEWAN ROUGH RIDERS 20 - The Ottawa Rough Riders and Saskatchewan Roughriders engaged in an epic battle for Earl Grey’s hallowed mug in 1976. The outcome was in doubt until the final stages when Tony Gabriel made one of the more memorable catches in Grey Cup history, giving Ottawa an upset victory. Leading 3-0 in the first quarter, the East Riders scored their first major of the game on a special teams play. Rookie Bill Hatanaka received a Saskatchewan punt and 79 yards later reached the end zone, the first punt return for a touchdown in Grey Cup history. Ottawa had a 10-0 lead after 15 minutes. Saskatchewan’s offence got going in the second quarter. But running back Molly McGee suffered a rib injury before the end of the half, and the Green Riders were never the same after this. It proved to be the most successful quarter for the Saskatchewan offence. Ron Lancaster threw a pair of touchdown passes to Steve Mazurak and Rob Richardson within the space of two minutes. Ted Provost intercepted a Tom Clements pass to set up Richardson’s touchdown. Saskatchewan took a 17-10 lead into halftime. Ottawa kicker Gerry Organ put his club in great field position in the third quarter when he faked a punt and ran 52 yards to the Saskatchewan 21. It went for naught, however, as on the next play Saskatchewan’s Cleveland Vann intercepted Clements. Both clubs exchanged field goals in the quarter. Ottawa was in better field position with less than two minutes remaining in regulation. On a third-down gamble on the Saskatchewan goal line, Clements was stopped on a draw play as Ottawa turned over the ball on downs. But the defence of the East Riders held, giving the Ottawa offence one last opportunity. With 20 seconds remaining and trailing 20-16, Clements decided to change the play sent to him from the sidelines. Gabriel faked a post pattern, then went to the corner, catching Clements 24-yard pass for the winning touchdown, Ottawa’s only offensive TD in the game. Ironically, it was Gabriel who sunk Saskatchewan’s Grey Cup fortunes in 1972 with three key catches late in that game. All the points were scored by Canadian players. Saskatchewan’s Bob Macoritti booted two field goals and a pair of converts, while Organ was good on three field goals and two converts.Outstanding Offensive Player: Tom Clements, QB, Ottawa; Outstanding Defensive Player: Cleveland Vann, LB, Saskatchewan; Outstanding Canadian: Tony Gabriel, TE, Ottawa

TRIVIA

All the points in this game were scored by Canadians.
This was the last Grey Cup championship for the Ottawa Rough Riders (the team folded in 1996) and the last playoff game for the Saskatchewan Roughriders until 1988. The 1976 victory was the last major sports championship of any kind for Ottawa until the Ottawa Redblacks (the third CFL franchise to play in the city) won the 104th Grey Cup in 2016. In total, Ottawa's championship drought would last for 27 seasons of CFL play and 40 years altogether.
This was the last "Rough Riders vs. Roughriders" Grey Cup match-up.
The game-winning ball caught by Tony Gabriel ended up in the possession of Bruce Crete, who was 12 at the time. He and the other neighborhood children played football with it until it wore out six years later.
The 1976 game was only Grey Cup game between 1973 and 1982 that the Edmonton Eskimos did not appear in, having been defeated by Saskatchewan in the Western Conference Final game.
Beginning this year, and up until 1982, the Grey Cup game would be held in alternating years in either Toronto (CNE Stadium) or Montreal (Olympic Stadium). This practice would finally end following the completion of BC Place in Vancouver in 1983.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 27th at Montreal - 68,318)

MONTREAL ALOUETTES 41, EDMONTON ESKIMOS 6 - The Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Eskimos met for the third time in four years in the Grey Cup final. With a record crowd of 68,318 at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium, the home team did not disappoint in a rout over their Western rivals. It was Canada’s version of the Ice Bowl, as the playing surface was more ideal for hockey than football. A blizzard hit Montreal two days prior to the game, and stadium crews put salt on the field to melt the snow. But as the temperature dropped the next day, the melted snow turned into a sheet of ice. To combat the conditions, the Alouettes put staples on their shoes in order to get good traction. The move was spearheaded by star defender Tony Proudfoot. Sonny Wade was 22 of 40 passing for 340 yards and three touchdowns. He was intercepted once. Montreal had a total offence of 424 yards, making 21 first downs. The Eskimos were held to just 102 yards and turned the ball over 10 times, six times in the first half alone. The kicking game carried over from the 1975 Grey Cup as both Montreal’s Don Sweet and Edmonton’s Dave Cutler scored all the points in the first half. Sweet was good on three field goal attempts and missed on one for a single point. Trailing 10-0, Cutler finally put the Eskimos on the scoreboard on the final play of the second quarter, as he was good on a nine-yard field goal. Sweet booted two field goals, and Cutler kicked another before a touchdown drought spanning eight quarters between these teams in the Grey Cup was finally put to rest. Edmonton running back Angelo Santucci’s fumble set up an Alouettes scoring drive. Wade threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Peter Dalla Riva to put the Alouettes ahead 23-6. Just prior to the start of the fourth quarter Wade threw a 10-yard major to a wide-open John O’Leary, and the rout was on. Cornerback Vernon Perry returned an interception 74 yards to help set up Wade’s seven-yard touchdown pass to Bob Gaddis. Sweet added a single and field goal to complete the scoring. Sweet set a number of records in the game, including six field goals and 23 total points, records which still stand. It was the Alouettes’ third championship of the 1970s. For the Eskimos, it marked the fourth loss in five trips to the final since 1960.

THE STORY OF THE 1977 GREY CUP (Rick Matsumoto - November 2008)

The 1977 Grey Cup game in Montreal was hit with a double whammy. First, there was the transit strike that shut down the city’s subway and buses. Then, there was a massive blizzard that made travel by taxis and personal vehicles all but impossible. Snowmobiles, skis, snowshoes and, possibly, dog sleds were the more viable modes of transportation as the hometown Alouettes prepared to take on the Edmonton Eskimos in the 65th tussle for Early Grey’s chalice. Compounding the problem for the game itself was the fact that Olympic Stadium was still exposed to nature’s nastiness as the retractable Kevlar roof, which was originally supposed to be in place for the 1976 Olympic Games, was still in storage in Paris, France while city politicians and the stadium’s builder fought legal battles. So when the 68,000 Grey Cup ticket holders, most of them who had trudged through the snow on foot, arrived at the Big O they found the field looking more like the surface of the old Montreal Forum, the home of the NHL’s Canadiens, than the venue for the CFL’s championship game. Both Alouette and Eskimo players were out on the field hours before game time trying out different types of footwear as they desperately sought to find something that would give them some traction on the slippery surface. Broomball shoes, which players sometimes used on similarly icy turf, didn’t work. Others tried metal cleats, which were rarely used now that most stadiums had switched from natural grass to artificial turf. They proved useless as well. While you might think that a team from winter aware Edmonton, especially one nicknamed the Eskimos, would have a better idea of the appropriate footwear for manoeuvring in icy conditions that didn’t prove to be the case. It was left to Tony Proudfoot, a Canadian defensive back from Montreal, to find the solution that would prove to be the right answer – at least for the Alouettes. Just before the pre-game warm-up, Proudfoot spotted an electrician walking by in the tunnel outside the dressing rooms with a staple gun in hand. The proverbial light bulb when on in Proudfoot’s head. He talked the electrician – a Montrealer who was obviously an Alouettes’ fan – into lending him the tool and he fired a number staples into the tip of the rubber cleats on the soles of his shoes. Other teammates did the same thing. When the game started about half the Als had put staples in their shoes as well and by halftime most of the team had followed suit. The Eskimos, of course, were unaware of the ploy the Als had used and they were easy pickings. “With that little bit of grip it gave you extra confidence, Proudfoot recalled years later. “We really knew we had something when Gerry Dattilio caught a short pass from Sonny Wade and ran right past (Eskimos defensive back) Larry Highbaugh for a big gain. Normally, Dattilio would never have outrun the speedy Highbaugh. “That’s when we knew we had something. It was a big factor in our win.” Marv Levy, who was the Als’ head coach at the time, said he didn’t know about the staples until after the game when the media, who had spoken to Proudfoot and other players, questioned him. “But I got calls the following week from two of my friends, one a coach and the other a general manager in the NFL and they asked me what we did, how we did it,” said Levy. “I became the expert on staples in football shoes.” With their altered footwear, the Als had little trouble handling the bewildered Eskimos. Montreal jumped into a 10-0 first quarter lead as Don Sweet booted three consecutive field goals before he missed a fourth that went for a single. The Eskimos’ Dave Cutler got one of those field goals back for the only score of the second quarter. But with most of their remaining players also taking the staple gun in hand during the halftime break, the Alouettes ran away from the Eskimos in the second half. Sweet added two more field goals in the third quarter and Peter Dalla Riva and John O’Leary caught touchdown passes from quarterback Sonny Wade for a 20-point outburst. The Eskimos’ only reply was another Cutler field goal. Montreal quarterback Sonny Wade said after the game that his team won because they were able to adjusts to the conditions, not only employing the staples in their shoes, but by deciding to pass the ball. “We didn't plan to throw the ball that much, but the field conditions dictated it,” said Wade, who finished with 340 passing yards and three touchdowns and was named the game's MVP. “When it's slippery like it was the receivers had an advantage over the defenders and we took it.” Wade connected with Bob Gaddis for a third touchdown early in the fourth quarter before Sweet concluded his scoring binge with his sixth field goal and another single that gave the Als a lopsided 41-6 victory. Sweet’s 23 points, which also include converts on all three Montreal touchdowns, still remains stapled into the CFL’s Grey Cup record book.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 26th at Toronto - 54,695)

EDMONTON ESKIMOS 20, MONTREAL ALOUETTES 13 - For the second time in the 1970s, the Montreal Alouettes failed to repeat as Grey Cup champions against the Edmonton Eskimos. Unlike the previous year in Montreal, the Alouettes’ offence was handcuffed by a tough Alberta Crude defence at Toronto’s Exhibition Stadium. The Eskimos jumped out to a 10-0 lead. Dave Cutler booted a 37-yard field goal to open the scoring and Jim Germany scored on a two-yard run for Edmonton’s lone touchdown. The play was set up by David Green’s fumble and a successful fake field goal by the Eskimos. Don Sweet then put the Alouettes on the scoreboard with a 32-yard field goal before the end of the first quarter. Cutler failed on a 31-yard field goal attempt late in the first half which gave the Eskimos a point. Randy Rhino then fumbled Hank Ilesic’s punt, allowing Cutler to make good on a 35-yard attempt before halftime. With the Eskimos ahead 17-3 late in the third quarter, Tom Wilkinson and Germany mishandled a hand off which Alouettes defensive tackle Gord Judges recovered on the Edmonton 10. Two plays later, Montreal quarterback Joe Barnes ran 10 yards for the major. Montreal backup quarterback Sonny Wade, like previous Grey Cups, got the call again midway through the fourth quarter and the Alouettes trailing 17-10. Vernon Perry had intercepted a Wilkinson pass, putting the Alouettes on the Edmonton 31. Montreal had to settle for a field goal by Sweet to narrow the gap to 17-13. With 90 seconds left in regulation, Wade faked a punt on third down in Montreal territory. With no receivers to throw to down field, Wade got sacked by Dave Fennell. Cutler would use the great field position to kick his fourth field goal of the game to give the Eskimos some breathing room. He was responsible for 14 of the Eskimos’ 20 points. Wade drove the Alouettes down to the Edmonton 27 with the time he had left and needed only one yard for the first down. But Wade elected to throw down field, and two incomplete passes ended any hopes of a Montreal miracle comeback. Following the game, the Grey Cup was damaged after Wilkinson accidentally dropped the trophy after being bumped by some rowdy fans. Dan Kepley caught it, but he too got knocked and the mug dropped to the turf and broke. “I shouldn’t have dropped the Grey Cup. The Alouettes hit me a lot harder than that,” said Wilkinson.

GREY CUP (Sunday November 25th at Montreal - 65,113)

EDMONTON ESKIMOS 17, MONTREAL ALOUETTES 9 - The Edmonton Eskimos and Montreal Alouettes battled each other for the Grey Cup for the fifth time in the 1970s. With each team defeating the other on two occasions, the 1979 classic was the rubber match to determine the team of the decade. The game was played in the Alouettes’ backyard as 65,113 were in attendance at Olympic Stadium. They witnessed Edmonton quarterback Tom Wilkinson throw a 43-yard pass to a wide open Waddell Smith for the initial touchdown of the game. The Alouettes responded as Don Sweet kicked field goals from 38 and 45 yards out before halftime to cut the Montreal deficit to 7-6. Sweet would give the Alouettes their only lead of the game

in the third quarter on a 29-yard field goal. But Warren Moon, who replaced Wilkinson behind centre, restored Edmonton’s lead by driving the Eskimos 75 yards in six plays, including a 33-yard touchdown pass to Tom Scott. Dave Cutler made it a 17-9 advantage for Edmonton when he booted a 38-yard field goal. Both teams were held off the scoreboard in the fourth quarter. The Alouettes hurt their own cause as they were penalized 16 times for 145 yards. Near the end of the game, Gerry Dattilio was called for clipping on an 85-yard punt return for a touchdown by Keith Baker. The Eskimos were only penalized four times for 25 yards. Needless to say, Montreal head coach Joe Scannella wasn’t happy with the officials at the end of the game. “There has to be two teams on the field and I don’t believe we were the only team that was guilty of penalties,” Scannella fumed. Wilkinson completed six of 10 pass attempts for 107 yards. Moon was five of 11 for 96 yards. Montreal pivot Joe Barnes was 13 of 23 passing for 151 yards. The Alouettes had 21 first downs and 318 yards of total offence, compared to the Eskimos’ 16 first downs and 280 total yards. Despite losing the game, the Alouettes won all the major awards. David Green was the game’s outstanding offensive player carrying the ball 21 times for 142 yards. Montreal linebacker Tom Cousineau was named defensive player of the game, and Sweet was the top Canadian. Unlike the 1977 Ice Bowl, the game time temperature was 12 degrees Celsius in Montreal. Both the Alouettes and Eskimos appeared in the Grey Cup six times in the 1970s, with each team winning three titles.
