Trophy at Stake

TORONTO — Canadian Football League Commissioner Doug Mitchell added a new twist to the long-standing rivalry between the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats with the unveiling of the Harold E. Ballard Trophy.

The $9,000 trophy, named after the 82-year-old owner of the Tiger-Cats and the National Hockey League’s Toronto Maple Leafs, is to be awarded each year to the winner of the regular-season series between the two teams.

“It (the trophy) will never be in Toronto,” predicted Ballard.
