The Crowchild Classic Medal

Each year, the team that wins the most games during the Crowchild Classic match-up will be awarded "The Medal", a 68-kilogram cast-iron City of Calgary manhole cover generously donated by Trojan Industries. The humble yet powerfully strong manhole cover can comfortably withstand millions of vehicles passing over it every day; it represents the pain and sacrifice that student-athletes willingly accept — often in the dark and without public recognition — in pursuit of the sport they love. It also symbolizes the very foundation of our great city and the freeway that connects our two universities.
