Russ Courtney of Rogers TV Mustangs Sports will provide the play by play, with Judith Grieve is the host.
"We're thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase the annual East-West Bowl through our continued strong partnership with Rogers TV," said Andy Watson, media relations coordinator with the Western Mustangs. "This is a great event featuring future professionals. Former CIS players who have gone on to be drafted by the CFL and NFL, including the recently drafted Mustangs lineman Vaughn Martin, earn great recognition and exposure in this game."
"Players and coaches will gather in London from coast to coast for a celebration of football. It promises to be another great event at TD Waterhouse Stadium."
"This is a premier sports event, that is, for the first time being hosted in London," says Debbie Marks, Rogers TV station manager. "Rogers TV is excited to bring live coverage to our local viewers."
Western Mustangs coach Greg Marshall will be the head coach of the West team comprised of players from OUA teams west of the GTA including Western, Guelph, McMaster, Windsor, Wilfrid Laurier, and Waterloo and Canada West. Four Western Mustangs players will play: quarterback Michael Faulds, receiver Jesse Bellamy, linebackers John Surla and Conor Elliott and defensive back Craig Butler.
Glen Constantin, the head coach of the 2008 Vanier Cup champions Laval Rouge et Or will coach the East team where players hail from OUA schools from Quebec and Atlantic conferences, the GTA and east including Ottawa, Queen's, Toronto and York.
The East-West Bowl, organized with the help of the Canadian University Football Coaches Association (CUFCA) and in partnership with the CFL, brings together over 90 of the top CIS football players for a week of practices and evaluation, culminating with the annual all-star game.
