Defending champions Laval Rouge et Or will have a chance to reclaim their national title as they face Uteck Bowl champions McMaster in the 47^th Vanier Cup championship, which will feature several former IFAF World Team members when played on Friday, November 25. 

Laval will be seeking its seventh championship in 13 seasons, while the Marauders are making their first Vanier Cup appearance since 1967, live on TSN and RDS across Canada.

The International Federation of American Football selects the top Under-19 players from around the world to represent the Team World at the annual USA Football International Bowl, played since 2010.  Each week, IFAF will highlight the best performances of former World players who are currently playing football in the United States, Canada and international competitions on www.IFAF.org and www.Facebook.com/IFAF.org.

Laval Rouge earned a spot in the national title game next week in Vancouver following a 41-10 defeat of second-ranked Calgary Dinos.  In the win, IFAF World Team member ADAM THIBAULT had three catches for 33 yards and one tackle and THOMAS GIRARD recorded three tackles for Laval.

Three touchdown passes and a scoring run by Kyle Quinlan led No. 4 McMaster Marauders to a 45-21 come-from-behind victory against No. 9 Acadia Axemen to claim the Uteck Bowl and a spot in the CIS Championship game.  The win breaks the Marauders streak of four straight bowl-game losses and McMaster is on a nine-game winning streak, having not lost since a 48-21 defeat to Western Ontario on September 10.

TYLER CRAPIGNA, 2010 IFAF World Team alum, did not participate in the game due to injury but has had stellar 2011 season connecting on 18 field goals which is first in CIS and is a perfect 31-31 on extra points.  His longest field goal of the season was a 46-yard field goal.

For Acadia, JAKE THOMAS recorded five tackles, 2011 IFAF World Team member DREW MORRIS registered four tackles and ANDREW ROWE had one tackle.  Thomas finished the season with 36 tackles, Morris had 20 tackles, Rowe registered 27 tackles and CAMERON WADE had 42 tackles, which was third most on the team.
