The 2014 Vanier Cup, the 50th edition of the Canadian university football championship, took place on Saturday, November 29, 2014, at Molson Stadium in Montreal, Quebec.[3] It was the first time that the city of Montreal hosted the Vanier Cup and it was organized by the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes as opposed to a member CIS club. For the second consecutive year the championship game was played in the province of Quebec.
The game featured the OUA champion McMaster Marauders and the RSEQ champion Montreal Carabins. This was the first appearance for the Carabins and the fourth for the Marauders. The Carabins defeated the Marauders 20–19 on the strength of a blocked field goal with 51 seconds remaining in the game.[4]
The Vanier Cup is played between the champions of the Mitchell Bowl and the Uteck Bowl, the national semi-final games. In 2014, the Atlantic conference Loney Bowl champions visited the Ontario conference's Yates Cup champion for the Uteck Bowl. The winners of the Canada West conference Hardy Trophy visited the Dunsmore Cup Quebec championship team for the Mitchell Bowl.[5]
