Blizzard Generates One Of Craziest Scenes You’ll Ever See In Sports

Beautiful, remarkable, absolutely incredible.

As time goes along, Major League Soccer gets more and more tempted to switch over to a European-style calendar, and if that happens, we’re going to end up having scenes like what took place Sunday in the Canadian Premier League.

Atlético Ottawa, the sister club of Atlético Madrid, faced off against Calvary FC (Calgary) in one of the wildest finals we’ve ever seen in international soccer. And it wasn’t just because of the play, but also due to a blizzard that was going on right in the middle of the match. You’re talking about a game that was jam-packed with action, breaks to clear snow to let you marvel at the winter wonderland, and did I mention a title was up for grabs?

I mean, damn, we had a friggin’ bicycle-kick in a blizzard for championship glory!

WATCH:

Atlético Ottawa would go on to win the game, 2-1, to bring home the Canadian Premier League championship.

Ahh … isn’t winter grand?

I couldn’t be happier to see these views as a weather enthusiast, especially after keeping an eye on our snow here in the United States all day Sunday.

I’m going to miss hurricane season as a cyclone guy, for sure, but there’s just something magical about snow and winter.
