FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toronto, Ontario – The Road to the Metro Bowl kicks off on Friday, November 8th, at the University of Toronto's Varsity Stadium, beginning with the Northern Red Knights vs. the Brebeuf Bulls in the Toronto Bowl at 12:30 PM. To cap off the day the 905 Bowl will see the St. Roch Ravens vs. Paul Dwyer Saints. The winners of these two games will advance to the 39th Metro Bowl on Thursday, December 14th at York University’s Alumni Field. In addition to the two senior matchups, the TDSSAA Junior Championship will kick off the day’s proceedings with the Northern Red Knights vs. Western Tech Colts.
This two-week high school football competition is emblematic of several Greater Toronto High School Football Championships. It showcases the best public, Catholic, and private high school football players in the G.T.A. Thank you to our top sponsors, the Toronto Argonauts, NFL Canada, and Area 51 Sports, for making Metro Bowl Month possible.
The premier event will be the 39th Metro Bowl, known as the "Rose Bowl of them all,” between the best high school football teams in Toronto, Peel, and Durham. First played in 1982, it’s one of North America’s oldest high school championships, and the winner will have the honour of raising the Bill Davis Cup, named after Ontario’s late Premier.
Tickets are available online and at the gate on game days. Visit MetroBowl.ca for more information, including schedules, how to buy tickets, and where to watch online.
