...that Burlington's Jake Ireland was cut by the Hamilton Flying Wildcats in 1949, became a referee and has been 'out to get' the Tiger Cats ever since.

It was actually the Hamilton Tigers and 1929.

See actual photo of Jake's Tryout:

I seriously doubt that if was on that team that he'd still be refereeing.

NICE TRY! pfft..
