The Canadian Premier League culminated in a historic final marked by extreme weather conditions in Ottawa.
Under heavy snowfall and temperatures that dropped to −8°C, the icy atmosphere did not stop the passion for football from taking over the stadium.
Without a doubt, it was an absolute challenge to the physical limits of the players and the resistance of the fans present.
The development of the match was conditioned by the accumulation of snow, which forced the referee to take exceptional measures to guarantee visibility of the field.

With this result, the local team knew how to suffer and capitalize on its opportunities to be crowned champion and lift the long-awaited league title under a white blanket of snow.
