The tradition

The pinnacle of GTA high school football

The Metro Bowl began with a single game in 1982 and has crowned the top high school team in the Greater Toronto Area ever since. Now in its 41st edition, the championship is back in Toronto under the stewardship of Football Toronto.

Today it is more than one game. The road to the Bill Davis Cup runs through the AAA Toronto Bowl and the AAA 905 Bowl, alongside junior and Tier 2 championships and an all-star showcase that puts more of the region's talent on the same field.

History

Four decades of Metro Bowl football

From city stadiums to the dome, across the province, and back home to Toronto.

1982

The first final

St. Michael's College beats Woburn 13–0 in the first Metro Bowl.

1990

Under the dome

The championship moves indoors to SkyDome, later renamed Rogers Centre.

2008

Seven for St. Michael's

St. Michael's College wins a third straight title and its seventh overall, still the record.

2012

The 31st Metro Bowl

Huron Heights wins at Rogers Centre in the last final before OFSAA expands and reshapes its bowl series.

2015

A provincial stage

OFSAA restores the Metro Bowl name within its province-wide bowl series. Through 2023, champions come from Kitchener, Orléans, Thunder Bay, Brampton, and Toronto.

2024

Home again

The championship returns to Toronto under Football Toronto, with the Toronto Bowl and 905 Bowl winners meeting for the Bill Davis Cup.

Trophies

Championship trophies

Four trophies are currently dedicated, each named for someone who built football in this region.

Bill Davis Cup

Presented to the Metro Bowl champion

Named for William Grenville Davis, Premier of Ontario from 1971 to 1985 and the province's minister of education before that. Davis played quarterback for his high school team in Brampton and played football at the University of Toronto.

Peter Morris Cup

Presented to the winner of the AAA Senior Toronto Bowl

Named for Peter Morris, a teacher with the Toronto Catholic school board for 37 years, a former convenor of the OFSAA Bowl Series, and a coach at Father John Redmond and Neil McNeil.

Al Craigie Cup

Presented to the winner of the AAA Junior Toronto Bowl

Named for Al Craigie, senior head coach of the Richview Saints through the 1990s and 2000s. His teams won the 2001 Metro Bowl and held the longest home undefeated streak in Toronto football history.
