The 1943 Hamilton Wildcats season was the third in franchise history. The team only lost one game in regulation on their way to a run all the way to the Grey Cup, making it the first team from Hamilton to reach the game since the Hamilton Tigers did so in 1935. They faced the Winnipeg RCAF Bombers, with the Wildcats having to wear gold and blue due to Winnipeg also wearing red and white. The Wildcats held on to an 18–7 lead by halftime on their way to a 23–14 victory in Toronto, the first Grey Cup champion for the city since 1932.[1]
