  • The Crowchild Classic consists each year of all regular season Canada West games between the Mount Royal University Cougars and the University of Calgary Dinos in the sports of basketball, hockey, soccer, and volleyball, with the winner receiving the medal – a manhole cover – for display on that campus for the following year, along with bragging rights in the city. Additionally, the losing school’s president will wear the winning team’s jersey for one day.

    Non-conference, exhibition, and playoff games are not included in the challenge. In case of a tie, the school already in possession of the trophy will keep it for an additional year.
