Fourth-year quarterback Adam Sinagra led the Calgary Dinos to a 27-13 win over the Montreal Carabins for the Vanier Cup on Saturday.

The 2019 Vanier Cup features a heavyweight matchup. The University of Calgary and University of Montreal are elite calibre finalists. 

Dinos quarterback Adam Sinagra has been on a mission since his last visit to Quebec City one year ago.

When Louis-Philippe Simoneau was diagnosed with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma in February, getting back on the gridiron was an immediate priority.

The Vanier Cup has been dominated by French language institutions over the last two decades and as Scott Russell writes, that's due to a proliferation of high school and community college teams across the vast geography of Quebec. According to former Mount Allison star Eric Lapointe, everybody is playing "our beautiful game" in la belle province.

Western Mustangs quarterback Chris Merchant has been named the top player in Canadian university football this year. Merchant captured the Hec Crighton Trophy on Thursday night at the U Sports football awards.

The Vanier Cup will become part of Grey Cup again if the CFL commissioner gets his way. Incorporating the Canadian university football championship into Grey Cup week is high on Randy Ambrosie's to-do list.
