Notable game facts
- Not only was this the first Vanier Cup game to be played in Saskatoon, it was also the first Vanier Cup to be played in Western Canada
- The Rouge et Or gained a measure of revenge over the Huskies after they defeated them in the previous years' Mitchell Bowl, in Saskatoon, by a score of 29-27. Laval had been vying to become the first CIS team to three-peat as Vanier Cup Champions.
- The two teams first met in the 40th Vanier Cup, where Laval won a similar low-scoring affair 7-1.
- The Laval victory over Saskatchewan in Saskatoon ended an impressive 16 playoff games streak where a Canada West team won against the visiting team when playing on home turf. The previous victory by a visiting team in Western Canada happened in the 1968 Churchill Bowl, in Winnipeg (Queen's 29 - Manitoba 6).
gollark: I mean, Scratch less so.
gollark: Another somewhat problematic thing with Scratch (and the government here's "micro:bits", small single board computers which connect via USB and have a 5x5 LED matrix and a bunch of pins, and which they gave out to all students in my year a while back) is that they end up implying to you that you can only program things on dedicated special environments.
gollark: I think my suggested things would be more actually-useful to people.
gollark: <@241757436720054273> I guess Scratch may teach that a bit (though often you'll just be made to blindly follow a tutorial for "learn to code" stuff) but it doesn't teach it very *well* because it's generally lacking in useful constructs.
gollark: I always am except when I'm.not.
