U Sports have unveiled the rosters for the upcoming East-West Bowl, which Canada’s top amateur football showcase event. With few exceptions, the participants in the event will be eligible for the 2024 CFL Draft.
The East Team is comprised primarily of student-athletes from Atlantic University Sport (AUS), the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ), as well as a handful of Ontario University Athletics (OUA) programs including Carleton, Ottawa, Queen’s, and York.
There are also three players from the recently-eliminated Simon Fraser football program listed on the roster, including receiver Sam Davenport, defensive back Jerrell Cummings, and defensive back Gideone Kremler. Five players recently filed an injunction against the school following the discontinuation of the program and there is optimism among local alumni that the football team could be reinstated.
The West Team includes players from Canada West and the remaining OUA programs including Western, Wilfrid Laurier, Toronto, Windsor, McMaster, Guelph, and Waterloo. A few adjustments have been made to the rosters with the interest of fielding two balanced teams.
The East-West Bowl will take place at McMaster University’s Ron Joyce Field on Saturday, May 13 at 4 p.m. ET. The game was also held at McMaster this past year when the West Team won by a score of 11-8.
The coaching staffs for the game will be announced next month.
