Shrine Bowl Provincial Championships


The Shrine Bowl Provincial Championships is a high school varsity football playoff championship, in the province of British Columbia, Canada; from the years 1966 to 1975.

History

The old varsity high school Vancouver & District Inter-High School Football League Senior Championships became the Shrine Bowl Provincial Championships. The championships were held at the old Empire Stadium in the province of British Columbia.
During the Shrine Bowl years, all high school football teams started to play by the same American football rules. A small Catholic high school, by the name of Notre Dame Regional Secondary School, became a football powerhouse during those years.
The Shrine Bowl gave way to the American style of ranking schools. Schools are divided into three classes by total enrollment in grades 9-11 only: A, AA, and AAA. The championships then became known as Frank Gnup AAA Provincial Championships and the Gary Scott AA Provincial Championships.
