Championships
The Vanier Cup was played between the champions of the
Mitchell Bowl and the
Churchill Bowl, the national semi-final games. In 2002, the Mitchell Bowl replaced the long-standing
Atlantic Bowl that had traditionally seen
Huskies Stadium in Halifax host the annual game. This was done to increase competitive fairness in the CIAU. The Ontario conference's
Yates Cup championship team hosted the winners of the Atlantic conference
Loney Bowl championship for the Churchill Bowl. The winners of the Canada West conference
Hardy Trophy visited the
Dunsmore Cup Quebec champion for the Mitchell Bowl.[4][5]
