Crowchild Classic
The Crowchild Classic is an annual athletic competition between the University of Calgary Dinos and the Mount Royal University Cougars in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Held annually since Mount Royal joined the U SPORTS association in 2012, the series consists of regular season Canada West games in the sports of basketball, ice hockey, soccer, and volleyball.[1]
The winner of the competition receives 'The Medal' - a 68-kg City of Calgary manhole cover for display on their campus. Since the first series in the 2012-13 season, the Dinos have won four of the five titles, with the 2014-15 edition ending in a tie.[2]
