History
The Atlantic Bowl was traditionally a match between the champions of
Acadia Axemen hosted the game at Raymond Field. The second was in 1983 when the game was scheduled to be hosted by the Canada West champion. The AUAA withdrew from national competition and participation in the game due to the relocation from Halifax. As a result, the Calgary Dinos advanced to the Vanier Cup by virtue of their Hardy Trophy
win over UBC.
The Atlantic Bowl champions would receive the
Robert L. Stanfield trophy, a trophy named after the former leader of Her Majesty's Official Opposition
.
Traditionally, the winners of Atlantic University Sport would face one of the other three conference champions, with the other two meeting in the Churchill Bowl.
