Hoover and Mckay to compete at 14th annual East West Bowl

Defensive back Jordan Hoover (Sault Ste. Marie) and wide receiver Blair McKay (Waterford) have been rewarded after strong seaons with the black and gold, earning spots in the East West Bowl game.  Hoover who finished last season with 20 tackles and a team leading five interceptions will play on the West team.  Mckay who led Waterloo in receptions with 21 for 207 yards will suit up for the East side.  Normally the two would have been on the same roster but the format has changed for the 14th annual event.

OTTAWA (CIS) – Canadian Interuniversity Sport announced Wednesday the rosters for the 14th annual East-West Bowl, which will take place at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium in Montreal on Saturday, May 14 at 1 p.m., live on CIS-SIC.tv.

For the second straight year, McGill University will host the week-long event featuring – for the most part - CIS players heading into their Canadian Football League draft year.
 
In addition to the prospects game, the 2016 edition, which kicks off on Tuesday, May 10, includes three days of practices, a combine for participating players, a CFL free-agent camp, as well as the traditional East-West Bowl banquet. A detailed schedule is included below.
 
"I'm looking forward to working with the finest coaches and student-athletes in Canadian university football," said Blake Nill, the head coach of the reigning Vanier Cup champion UBC Thunderbirds who will be at the helm of the West team, marking his sixth all-time selection as sideline boss at the East-West Bowl. "It's an important part of showcasing our game and I'm positive this year's edition of the East-West Bowl will live up to expectations and the high standards set by the event in previous years."
 
"It will be a pleasure to once again coach young student-athletes who have the potential to play football at the next level," said Danny Maciocia, who guided the Montreal Carabins to their second straight Vanier Cup appearance last November and who will lead the East squad for the second consecutive year. "We will give them the tools to showcase their talent in front of CFL coaches and scouts. But on top of that, we want them to enjoy a memorable experience both on and off the field, with players from across the country." 
 
For the most part, the East team is comprised of players from the AUS and RSEQ conferences as well as Carleton, Ottawa and Queen's, while the West contingent is made up of student-athletes from Canada West and the remaining OUA universities.
 
No less than 15 standouts who will take the field on May 14 have been named all-Canadians since the start of their CIS career. The list includes receiver Nate Behar of Carleton, defensive linemen Sam Narkaj of Concordia and Adam Melanson of Acadia, and defensive backs Devante Sampson of Mount Allison and Alex Hovington of Laval for the East, as well as receivers Rashaun Simonise of Calgary, Danny Vandervoort of McMaster and Mitch Hillis of Saskatchewan, offensive lineman Braden Schram of Calgary, defensive lineman Kwaku Boateng of Wilfrid Laurier, defensive backs Adam Laurensse of Calgary, Robert Woodson of Calgary, Jesse McNair of Western and Tunde Adeleke of Carleton, and kicker Félix Ménard-Brière of Montreal for the West.
 
St. Francis Xavier's Dante Djan and Guelph's James Roberts will quarterback the East prospects at Molson Stadium, while Manitoba's Theo Deezar and McMaster's Asher Hastings will be under centre for the West.
 
In his first campaign as the Marauders starting pivot last fall, Hastings set a single-season CIS record with 31 touchdown passes, including 11 to Vandervoort, who tied Simonise for the nation's lead in TD receptions.
 
The East has won the last two East-West Bowl contests and five of the last six, including a 29-21 decision last May at Molson Stadium. However, the West still leads the all-time series 7-6.
