Leading the West team players from Canada West and seven OUA universities will be Stefan Ptaszek, head coach of the reigning Vanier Cup champion McMaster Marauders. Glen Constantin who guided the Laval Rouge et Or to five national championships in 11 seasons will head up the East team, comprised of student-athletes representing schools from the Atlantic and Quebec conferences, as well as from Queen’s, Ottawa and Toronto.
The East-West Bowl, organized with the help of the Canadian University Football Coaches Association (CUFCA) and in partnership with the CFL, brings together over 90 of the top CIS football players for a week of practices and evaluation, culminating with the annual all-star game.
