Atlantic Bowl

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Atlantic Bowl was one of the two national semifinal men's football games of Canadian Interuniversity Sport. The winner of the Atlantic Bowl would meet the winner of the Churchill Bowl for the Vanier Cup. It was replaced by the Uteck Bowl following the death of Larry Uteck, a former athletic director at Saint Mary's University.

[edit] History

The Atlantic Bowl has been traditionally the championship of Atlantic University Sport and its various predecessors. It has been hosted in Halifax, Nova Scotia every year since 1956, often at Huskies Stadium, home to the Saint Mary's Huskies. The only exception was 1976, when the Acadia Axemen hosted the game at Raymond Field. The Atlantic Bowl champions would receive the Robert L. Stanfield trophy, a trophy named after the former leader of Her Majesty's Official Opposition.

Traditionally, the winners of Atlantic University Sport would face one of the other three conference champions, with the other two meeting in the Churchill Bowl.
