The iconic sound of chainsaws revving after an Ottawa REDBLACKS touchdown will not be heard at BMO Field this Sunday.

It's not due to any potential lack of scoring - but due to a lack of space.

The CFL says there isn't enough room to safely allow the Algonquin Loggersports Team to slice a wood cookie off a log at BMO Field, during the 104th Grey Cup Game in Toronto.

The Calgary Stampeders' Quick Six - a horse that stampedes around the field after a touchdown - will also not be there, for the same reason.

The Algonquin Loggersports Team was also barred from the 103rd Grey Cup in Winnipeg last year.
