    The 1962 Grey Cup: Played in a Fog

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 6 (1991) The 1962 Grey Cup: Played in a Fog by Jack Ziegler Most pro football games take 3 to 3 1/2 hours to complete. However, when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers met the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the Grey Cup Championship in 1962 the game took 25 hours because of fog delay. Or as Bobby Kuntz of the Ti-Cats put it: “I waited seven years to play in a Grey Cup game and then I get two in two days.” The Grey Cup game was scheduled for 1 p.m. on December 1, 1962 in Toronto’s Canadian National Exhibition stadium. As early as 30 November, league and club officials were concerned about the heavy fog in Toronto. Joseph Sheehan of the New York Times reported that “It was so foggy ...in downtown Toronto that until noon it was impossible to see across even a narrow street.” Yet by 11:30 a.m. on game day things seemed to be going well. While there was heavy fog over Lake Ontario, weather at CNE stadium was delightful with the temperature in the fifties and sunny skies. But by 1 p.m. kickoff time the field was covered with haze as prevailing winds began to move the fog in from the lake. By the end of the first quarter there were dense patches of fog on the field that eventually became a solid mass. From the stands and the press box, fans and reporters could only see halfway across the 65 yard wide field.

  • Laurie Boschman

    Laurie Boschman

    Laurie Boschman Laurie was the 1st round draft choice of the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1979 and scored 48 points in his rookie season. He skated well between John Anderson and Rocky Saganiuk. But in year two, he was felled with mononucleosis. To add to his woes, he was rushed back too soon after the illness had struck. As such, he skated like a tired hound dog at the end of a long hunt. His situation was further exacerbated when the club's owner, Harold Ballard, suggested that Boschman's Christian beliefs were at the root of his poor play. Laurie welcomed a trade to the Edmonton Oilers and from there he went on to several excellent seasons with the Winnipeg Jets where he had 4 seasons of over 25 goals. He developed a relentlessly determined style of play that brought him plenty of opportunities to scrap and to score points. Over the seven years that followed, he became a mainstay as a solid, two-way performer who consistently put points on the board and covered his own end of the rink with tenacity. Laurie then spent two season with the New Jersey Devils followed by playing the inaugural season with the Ottawa Senators. Laurie stayed strong in his faith during his career and ended up playing over 1,000 NHL games with over 300 goals and over 2,200 penalty minutes – proof that his faith didn’t make him the soft player that Ballard had claimed him to be.
