City of Champions



Very recently, the sports fans in Pittsburgh have taken to calling themselves by a name that Edmontonians are very familiar with - the City of Champions. But Edmonton has been using that moniker for a long, long time now.

I don't know whether to feel cheated or feel disappointed. The last Edmonton Stanley Cup was back in 90 and Pittsburgh fans count NFL titles whereas Edmonton fans count Grey Cups.

Here's what Pittsburgh has achieved:
  • 3 Stanley Cups
  • 6 Lombardi Trophies
  • Great NCAA tradition
Here's what Edmonton has achieved:
  • 5 Stanley Cups
  • 13 Grey Cups
  • Great CIS tradition
So the questions are, who is the real "City of Champions," and can there be two "City of Champions" simultaneously?
