The Leader-Post Trophy was the name for the Canadian Bowl from 1948 to 1975. The Trophy was won on a record five occasions during this period by the Saskatoon Hilltops. Other winners were Regina Rams (4), Edmonton Huskies (3), Hamilton Jr Wildcats, Hamilton Jr Tiger-Cats, Windsor AKO Fratmen and Winnipeg Rods twice each. The Trophy was won on a single occasion by Ottawa Sooners, Hamilton Hurricanes, Edmonton Wildcats, NDG Maple Leafs, Rosemount Bombers, Toronto Parkdale Lions and St. James Rods. Vancouver Blue Bombers won the Evergreen Bowl as it was known in 1947, the only year it was called so.

The Canadian Bowl is the Championship Game of the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL), the second level of Canadian Football. It was first played in 1907 as the Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) Junior Championship, then after one year in 1947 as the Evergreen Bowl it became the Leader-Post Trophy. It was known as the Leader-Post Trophy until 1976, two years after the Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) was renamed the Canadian National Junior Football League (CNJFL), when the Trophy was rebranded the Armadale Cup. It was again renamed in 1989, this time as the Canadian Bowl, seven years after the CNJFL became the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL).

The 12v12 version of the game played in Canada differs from American Football not only in the number of players allowed on the field at any one time (12 in a Canadian Football team versus 11 in an American Football team), but also in the size of the field (a Canadian Football field is 110 yards long with two 20-yard endzones, while an American Football field is 100 yards long with two 15 yard endzones). Canadian Football teams also have only three downs (attempts) in which to gain 10 yards or the ball is turned over as opposed to four downs in American Football. There is also the possibility of scoring a “Rouge” in Canadian Football – this happens when the ball is kicked through the back of the endzone, and is worth one point.

The Canadian Rugby Union (a Canadian version of Football, closer to American Football than Rugby Union) organized the first Canadian Junior Football Championship between Provincial Champions in 1907. From 1907 to 1925 the CRU Junior Championship was won by a different team on each occasion. St. Aidan’s College Saints, named after an Irish Saint, and playing in the Toronto City Football League won the CRU Junior Championship in 1921 defeating Queens University III 11-8 in the Championship Game.

The Canadian Bowl is the Championship Game of the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL), the second level of Canadian Football. It was first played in 1907 as the Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) Junior Championship, becoming the Leader-Post Trophy in 1925. After one year in 1947 as the Evergreen Bowl it became the Leader-Post Trophy again. It was known as the Leader-Post Trophy until 1976, two years after the Canadian Rugby Union (CRU) was renamed the Canadian National Junior Football League (CNJFL), when the Trophy was rebranded the Armadale Cup. It was again renamed in 1989, this time as the Canadian Bowl, seven years after the CNJFL became the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL).

Regina Rams won the Canadian National Junior Football League on five occasions between the Cup being known as the Leader-Post Trophy and being rebranded the Canadian Bowl (1976 to 1988). Saskatoon Hilltops, Ottawa Sooners and Edmonton Wildcats won it twice, and Okanagan Suns and Renfrew Trojans once each.

The Canadian Rugby Union was renamed the Canadian National Junior Football League in 1974, and two years later the Leader-Post Trophy renamed the Armadale Cup. It was again renamed the Canadian Bowl seven years after the CNJFL was rebranded the Canadian Junior Football League.

The sport has been known as Canadian Football since. (For more on Canadian Football history see: Canadian Football Leagues

Junior Inter-Collegiate Rugby Football Union Results 1906 [Ref: 2]

The Junior Inter-Collegiate Football union was one of two Junior College Football (Canadian Football) Leagues in Canada in 1906, the other being the Little Big Four. The JICFU was based in Ontario, Canada, with the University of Toronto II, Queens University (Kingston), Royal Military College (Kingston) and McMaster University (Hamilton) all based in the Province, and unlike the Little Big four, were all Universities, rather than Colleges in Status.

Queens University from Kingston won the Championship in 1906, having defeated Royal Miltary College II and University of Toronto Varsity II in a three-round knockout (elimination) tournament.
