I added players who were not dressed for the Argos during the Grey Cup game, but were still members of the team @ the time! So far as I know, only players who were dressed for the Grey Cup have their names inscribed on the Grey Cup itself. Does this template go by the same criteria or not?

Interesting question. The CFL is very strict about only inscribing the names of players who dress, excluding even those who play all year but are injured for the big game. On the other hand, the teams give Grey Cup rings to all the players, even those on the practice roster. My opinion is that we should list all the players on the roster at the time of the Cup, including those who didn't dress; i.e., this is a list of players on the team who won the Grey Cup.

Seems I'm a little late to the party but I believe that they should be listed since they are technically part of the team.--Giants27 (c|s) 15:57, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But even players that did not dress, and players that were on the practice squad, get rings, so they still are champions.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 16:01, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm reading correctly, we are all in agreement. Players who were signed to the roster at the time of the game, whether dressed or not, are Grey Cup champions and are listed on the navbox. The only issue which I can hear arguments either way on is whether practice roster players are included. DoubleBlue (talk) 17:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah if a guy is on the active roster, it certainly shouldn't matter if he played.

As for practice roster guys, I would be in favor of listing them separately (as the practice roster) but still on the template. They do get rings like everyone else.►Chris Nelson^Holla! 18:27, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
