The East-West Bowl was initiated in 2003 and it’s organized by the Canadian University Football Coaches Association in partnership with the Canadian Football League. The event brings together over 90 of the top U SPORTS football players for a week of practices, combine testing and culminates with the annual prospects game.
“It’s a credit to everybody that’s involved with this,” Warriors head coach Chris Bertoia said. “It takes a village, that old adage, certainly our athletic department and our football staff, conference services — there was great representation from the University of Waterloo this week. It was a great success. We had a great day out here, sunshine’s out, a good crowd and it was an outstanding week.”
Team West is mostly made up of players from Canada West and Ontario University Athletics schools, except Carleton, Ottawa and Queen’s, which are named to the East squad. The rest of Team East features players from Atlantic University Sport and Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec schools.
