Two Gee-Gees named to rosters of 12th annual East West Bowl
Canadian Interuniversity Sport announced Thursday the rosters for the 12th annual East West Bowl, presented by Under Armour. The all-star showcase is set for Saturday, May 10, 2014 at TD Stadium on the campus of Western University in London, Ont.
Burlington, Ont. native Ian Stewart will represent the garnet and grey on offence with corner back Dustin Wilson of Ottawa named on defence. Both players will enter their fourth seasons with the Gee-Gees next fall. Stewart was the leading receiver for Ottawa in three games last season, pulling in a season total of 37 catches and 2 touchdowns. Wilson started all nine games for Ottawa and recorded eight total tackles along with two pass breakups.
The East West Bowl showcases – for the most part - CIS players who will be eligible for the following year's CFL draft.
The East side is comprised of student-athletes representing schools from the AUS and RSEQ conferences, as well as Carleton, Ottawa, Queen's and Toronto. The West contingent is made up of players from Canada West and the remaining OUA universities.
