The Elouettes did not finish first in the east, but ended up knocking off both the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Hamilton Tiger Cats to get to the championship game.

The success of the Yellowettes rides on the Hellewets. health of their quarterback. Davis Alexander has been nursing a hamstring injury, but he's been insisting all week that he's healthy and ready to go. Deloette's last won the Great Cup just two years ago.
