"It was also the final championship played before the advent of the Grey Cup. Sir Albert Henry George Grey, the ninth Governor General of Canada, had actually hoped to donate a trophy to the senior men's hockey championship, but was a step behind Sir H. Montague Allan, who created what is now known as the Allan Cup.

So, in 1909, Earl Grey settled on football.

The University of Toronto went on to win each of the first three Grey Cups, and refused to return the trophy after the club was knocked out of championship contention in 1912. Three more years passed before the school surrendered the trophy.

The Tigers won in 1915 and, with the cup liberated, they decided to seek a little revenge. They commissioned a plate for the 1908 Hamilton team, and had it fastened to the base of the Grey Cup - even though the trophy was not awarded for the first time until 1909."




Our 1st Grey Champs was the 1912 Hamilton Alerts
Imo They where 1st Hamilton team to Hold The Grey Cup after winning it
They Makes them our 1st Grey Cup Champs .

Not 1908 Team there where Dominion champions but Grey Cup Champs
adding The 1908 was just a Prank by 1915 Tigers.
