The 2012 CIS East-West Bowl will be played on May 12 at TD Waterhouse Stadium on the campus of The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario. This will be the tenth edition of the East-West Bowl, which features the top players from across the country who are entering their draft years.

Western is hosting the game for the fourth straight year. The game was previously held in Hamilton at McMaster University (2008), in Quebec City at Université Laval (2007, 2006) and in Waterloo at Wilfrid Laurier University (2005, 2004, 2003).

Ben Heenan, Bryce McCall and Keenan MacDougall represented the Huskies at last year’s game, which the East won 34-27 in overtime. The West team, which was coached in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 by Huskies’ Head Coach Brian Towriss, has won six of the nine games played.

    I find it interesting that the CIS plays an All Star Bowl is played in May two months before their training camp and three before their season. With the addition of the Vanier Cup Played on Grey Cup weekend at the same sight, maybe the addition of and east west bowl for players ending their senior years playing the friday night before the vanier Cup. this would of course exclude those players playing in the vanier cup.
    I do not know if the CFL and the CIS will be doing the same this year in Toronto or not but that would be an excellent addition to the weekend since the CFL does not have enough teams to play an east west all star game.
    If the CIS goes back to playing the Vanier cup at a separate venue again this idea would also work to attract more fans to the game. Friday Night the CIS east west all star bowl for the 2012 season and the Vanier cup played that saturday. this would add to the excitement and number of fans attending and add to TV ratings
