Great story.

Once upon a time, here in the land of ice and snow, the little Canadian Football League fought the mighty NFL for the one player everyone wanted most — and won.
Twenty-five years later, it's inconceivable that a CFL team could steal the most exciting prospect away from what is now the world's richest sports league.
It sounds like a fairy tale.
So this is the story of how a hero named Rocket and his famous friends in Hogtown fought off everything the Snow Queen could throw at them (including a can of beer) to win the silver chalice.
It starts with a Hollywood extravaganza and ends with movie stars freezing their butts off in Winnipeg.
In between was the most fun that Argonaut fans — including The Great One and a sweet man named Candy — have ever had.
