MEDIA RELEASE: 24 July 2017 – R00134

The symbol of success and victory in Canadian football is coming to Brock University.

The Grey Cup, along with Larry Dean and Luke Tasker from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, will make an appearance at Brock’s Alumni Field Wednesday, July 26 as part of the University’s Youth Flag Football League.

The inaugural season for the Brock Sports-run youth league has been a big success with players taking part in practices and games every Wednesday night until Aug. 9.

The league is part of the Canadian Football League’s Flag initiative designed to be a fun environment for boys and girls between six and 15 years old who have either never played the game before or would like to keep playing under flag football rules.

As part of the Flag program, the CFL will bring the Grey Cup along with the two Ti-Cat players to Alumni Field Wednesday, July 26 at 6 p.m.

Members of the community and media are welcome to attend.
