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).
