Game 1 Ballard Cup Hamilton heads to Hogtown

So it’s that time again as we head down the Q.E.W
Hop onto go trains and invade Hogtown
Who will take the early lead in the Ballard cup
With only three games this year you win two
You can put that trophy back at your home stadium

Looking forward to watching the game tomorrow night
I’m coming on here and chatting with the rest of the fans

I gotta say, that new Stampede Cup Calgary has is a nice looking trophy. Maybe time for an update on the Ballard cup that looks as cheap as it’s namesake.

LoL !!! I was just going to comment on that . That Ballard trophy looks like something you would find on a table at a garage sale that has a sign on it saying ‘All items sold for $5.00 or less’ .

It’s petty embarrassing. I was going to go with “a dusty trophy in some old trophy case in some grade schools basement”

Would you believe …

“Ballard purchased the trophy for a hefty $9,000”

That 1986 $9000.00 trophy if purchased today would be worth approx $26,400 in todays funds . That is absolutely crazy when you really think about it . :eyes:

I wouldn’t, hard to tell the materials from the picture though.

It’s probably the most ugly trophy in sports!
