It’s game on between the Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats

The game was delayed more than two hours due to the threat of lightning.

It’s the third time in seven games this season the Bombers have been delayed due to lightning; first in the season-opener against the Montreal Alouettes at IGF, which lasted an hour; and again last week in Edmonton, with the postponement lasting 30 minutes.
