Give Laval the Hec Trophy

Laval Rouge et Or, a club which has won three of the last five Vanier Cups, has yet to have a Hec Crighton Trophy winner. With such absolutely solid quarterbacking, as Mathieu Bertrand and his backup partner William Leclerc and now Benoit Groulx with his backup partner Cesar-Roberto Sanchez-Hernandez during their era, only the voting officials within Canadian Interuniversity Sport Football seem to be the last ones to recognize such greatness in their own sport of Canadian University Football. A nod should have went to Mathieu Bertrand then, so a nod should go to Benoit Groulx now, making either only the second Quebec Student Sport Federation Football player to win since the creation of the Hec. About the game, I think we shall once again see Laval after one year's absence, without Manitoba's experience and maturity, the West shall give le Rouge et Or a bye into the big show, with Saskatchewan or Calgary. While home turf maybe Ontario's, Ottawa, Western or Laurier will be no match for a St. Mary's club determined to right the wrongs of last year, however the Huskies will lose to Laval in Hamilton at Ivor Wynne on the 22nd guaranteed.
