A total of five Gryphon football players will head to Montreal in early May for the 13th Annual CIS East-West Bowl.

Second Team All-Canadian linebacker Curtis Newton and OUA First Team All-Star free safety Tristan Doughlin will be joined by a pair of talented linemen in defensive tackle Donnie Egerter and offensive tackle Kyle Fraser-Audit. Two time OUA All-star at r=Returner, A’Dre Fraser will also be in attendance. All five players will be entering their fourth year of eligibility with the Gryphons when Week 1 of the 2015 regular season kicks off on Sunday, August 30th against the Waterloo Warriors.
The East-West Bowl is a week-long event that runs from May 5-9, with the first four days consisting of testing and practices, with the final day (Saturday, May 9th) culminating with the prospects game at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium (home of the McGill Redmen as well as the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes).
The East team is comprised of players from the RSEQ and AUS conferences, as well as Carleton, Ottawa, Queen’s and Toronto. The West team is made up of players from the remaining OUA universities, as well as the Canada West conference.
