Because the Grey Cup game is played between the Western Champion and the Eastern Champion, West-west matchups and East-east matchups do not happen as a rule.
The exception is the Winnipeg Blue Bombers who have played both in the east and in the west, and have played all of the other teams at one time or another except Montréal. (Toronto most recently in 1950, Hamilton most recently in 1984, BC most recently in 2011, Sask in 2007, Calgary in 2001, Edmonton in 1993)
So, Hamilton, Toronto and Montréal have never played each other (unless you count the 1912 Hamilton-Toronto game, but that was a different Hamilton team). Likewise, BC, Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatchewan have never played each other.

What team has won the fewest Grey Cup Games?
Of current CFL teams, Saskatchewan Roughriders have 4 Wins - 1966,1989,2007, and 2013 The above is only the answer to the question if one restricts the question to current CFL teams. The CFL teams that were in the USA, with the exception of Baltimore, collectively had zero Grey Cup wins. But the question was wide open. The correct answer would be that dozens of teams have no Grey Cup wins. One must remember that the Ontario Rugby Football Union (ORFU) regularly challenged for the Grey Cup right up until the mid-1950s. Only three ORFU teams ever won the Grey Cup. The Sarnia Imperials and Toronto Balmy Beach each had two victories, and the Hamilton Wildcats one. But there were several teams in the ORFU from time to time, none of which ever won (or even played in) a Grey Cup game. There were also a number of eligible teams out west that never made it to the big game. Likewise, going back to the days when the university teams could challenge, only University of Toronto (4 wins) and Queens University (3 wins) ever played in a Grey Cup game. The rest never got on the field. The true number of teams that were eligible to challenge but never made it, and therefore won zero Grey Cup games, might never be known. And, of course, teams which never played Canadian Football have never won it either.

How many American players are in the CFL?
Yes. In the 1990s the governors of the CFL thought they could expand the league into the United States. A number of new teams were created, most of which quickly folded.

How much money does a CFL team get for winning the grey cup?
in 2011 each CFL teams get close to 2 million per team. The TV deal is up in 2012 and the CFL should be able to double the current deal to around 160 million for 5 years, which would give each team 4 million. Then every team in the CFL will turn a profit

Has any gray Cup hosting team actually won the gray Cup?
The Grey Cup Game is not hosted by a team, it is hosted by a city. Until 1954, the Grey Cup Game was almost always played in Toronto, because the largest stadium in Canada at the time (Varsity Stadium) was located in Toronto. From the time the Grey Cup was donated by the Governor General (1909) until 1952, Toronto-based teams had won the Grey Cup Game (played in Toronto) 17 times. Since the Canadian Football League (CFL) was established in 1958, the Grey Cup has been the exclusive property of the CFL. The following CFL teams have played in a Grey Cup Game held in the team's city: 1963 B.C. Lions (Vancouver) (loss) 1972 Hamilton Tiger-Cats (win) 1977 Montreal Alouettes (win) 1979 Montreal Alouettes (loss) 1982 Toronto Argonauts (loss) 1983 B.C. Lions (Vancouver) (loss) 1994 B.C. Lions (Vancouver) (win) 2002 Edmonton Eskimos (loss) 2012 Toronto Argonauts (win) As you can see, playing on home ground does not seem to improve nor hurt the chances of winning the Grey Cup.

What teams have not won the grey cup?
Well, the Montréal Canadiens for one. Manchester United for another. Likewise the Boston Celtics and the Green Bay Packers. Perhaps the question would be better phrased "Which current CFL teams have not won the Grey Cup?" And the answer to that would be the Ottawa Redblacks, unless you are prepared to credit them with the Grey Cup victories won by the Ottawa Rough Riders.
