Downie and the music of The Tragically Hip is undoubtedly linked to sport in Canada.
CFL fans will remember the Hip performance at the 2004 Grey Cup and what a performance it was…
Gord’s legacy will not soon be forgotten & we at the CFL can only try to honour his memory.
Today, the #Ticats mourn the loss of a true Canadian legend, and a man forever immortalized in TigerTown history.
