Those breaking Huskie hearts sounded so much worse in the crisp air of a minus-30-degree windchill.
The University of Saskatchewan Huskies lost their fourth Vanier Cup game in five years Saturday at Griffiths Stadium, then watched glumly as the Laval Rouge et Or — 13-8 winners — jumped madly around their host’s frozen turf.
…
Laval has won three Vanier Cups in four seasons, including a 7-1 victory over Saskatchewan in 2004. The Huskies, meanwhile, are fed-up with a growing record of futility — this latest lamentable chapter playing out before a capacity Griffiths Stadium crowd of 12,567.
The loss left players and coaches teary-eyed — some reduced to sobs — and immensely frustrated.
Too bad.
The hometown team lost in front of their own fans.
Saskatchewan loves football. A victory would have been great for the Province.
