Ontario Conference 

Hamilton Hurricanes @ London Beefeaters – Saturday September 31, 3:00pm – City Wide Field | WATCH HERE

It’s the back half of a home-and-home when the Beefeaters host the Hurricanes on Saturday afternoon.  Last weekend the Beefeaters got their first win of the season with a 50-11 victory over the Hurricanes in Hamilton and the game set a new single season attendance record in the Ontario Conference.  This is also the final regular season meeting between these two rivals. 

Head-to-Head

BC Conference

VI Raiders @ Langley Rams – Saturday August 31, 4:00pm – McLeod Stadium | WATCH HERE

This is the second and final time the Rams and Raiders meet this regular season after the Rams scored a 28-17 victory earlier this month. 

The Rams have won four straight holding the opposition to eight points or less in three of the victories.  The only team to score more was the game against the Raiders.   Speaking of the Raiders they have lost two in a row and have given up an average of 40 points in these setbacks.

Kamloops Broncos @ Okanagan Sun – Saturday August 31, 7:00pm – Apple Bowl | WATCH HERE

It’s the BC Conference night cap and the interior rivalry game between Kelowna and Kamloops as they meet for the only time this season.

The Sun are coming off a bye week to rest some bumps and bruises while the Broncos are coming off their first win of the campaign, an impressive victory on the road in Prince George with quarterback Clark Snider the reigning Player of the Week after five touchdown passes.

Things won’t be as easy offensively for the Broncos against a highly skilled and talented Sun defence who are not only coming off their bye week, but recorded a shutout in their game prior to the break. 

Head-to-Head
Records: Broncos 1-4 - Sun 5-0
Avg Points For: Broncos 19 – Sun 36.4
Avg Points Allowed: Broncos 41.4 – Sun 13.8

It’s the one and only meeting this season when the Saints visit the Grizzlies on Sunday afternoon in Brampton.   The Saints are coming off a shutout win over the Quinte Skyhawks last weekend and sit in sole possession of first place.  The Grizzlies on the other hand are still looking for their first point of the 2024 campaign.  

Head-to-Head
Records: Saints 2-0 – Grizzlies 0-2

Ottawa Sooners @ Quinte Skyhawks – Sunday September 1, 2:00pm – Loyalist College | WATCH HERE

This is the lone meeting of the season between the Sooners and Skyhawks despite them being the closest to each other in the Ontario Conference landscape.  The Sooners recorded a shutout victory last weekend while conversely the Skyhawks were shutout themselves in Windsor on Saturday.  Sunday is also a couple of benchmark games for both teams, the Sooners first road game of the year and the Skyhawks host their home opener.
