April 21st - 23rd, 2017, the Top 90 U18 players in Ontario will meet in Guelph for the annual Red vs Black Weekend. The Top 90 players are selected from our 3 regional tryouts by Head Coach Glen Mills. Players will go through a university style mini-camp followed by a Red vs Black game that will be filmed to professional CFL standards in which the final roster for the Canada Cup will be selected.

"I am extremley happy with the Top 90 selection. We as a staff feel from these 90 players that we have the talent to bring the National Championship back to Ontario. The Red vs Black will be a competitive weekend and we believe that it will be a difficult selection process to get down to the final 40."
- Glen Mills, Team Ontario Head Coach

"The University of Guelph football team is very excited to once again host the annual Red vs Black weekend. We hope that all players involved will enjoy the professionalism we strive for at Gryphon Football. Our Ontario central campus and accomodating facilities provide an excellent landscape for these types of all star weekends. Our coaching staff will be there not only to evaluate the best in in Ontario, but will offer their service completely to Ontario Football Alliance. We are grateful for this opportunity and wish Team Ontario all the success in the Canada Cup."
- Kevin MacNeill, University of Guelph Head Coach
