In 1965 Hamilton once again finished first and returned to the Grey Cup. Once again Hamilton faced Winnipeg and much like the Fog Bowl, The weather caused major problems for the game. Dubbed as the Wind Bowl, winds rushed in from Lake Ontario to Exhibition Stadium to cause problems for the players and the officials. It was so bad that the officials decided some of the rules needed to be change for the game. One rule that was change for the game was the kicking rule. When a player kicked the ball, the play would be called dead once the ball made contact with the returner. The wind was so horrible, that the majority of the game had to be played in the east end of the stadium. At the end of the game, the Tiger-Cats defeated the Blue Bombers 22-16.18
