    Under 18 Football Canada Cup, July 8 - 14, 2017

    The Under-18 Football Canada Cup will be held from July 8-14 in Wolfville, Nova Scotia at Raymond Field of Acadia University. As noted below, some of the players participating in past Under-18 Canada Cup have went to stand-out careers or recently been drafted in the CFL or NFL.

    The 2017 event marks the return of British Columbia which last competed in the tournament in 2011. BC joins a field of provincial teams from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and host Nova Scotia.
    Top pre-university Canadian football showcase
    The Football Canada Cup is the premier pre-university football tournament in Canada which annually showcases the top under-18 football players from across the country. ...

    Tournament Format
    The event features three game days within a seven-day span culminating with the 12 and final game between two undefeated teams who battle for the title of national champion.
    Quebec looks to three-peat
    Quebec opens the tournament as the two-time defending champions but will face a tough task of repeating in 2017. Quebec defeated Saskatchewan 25-8 in last year’s final, while 2014 gold medalist Ontario defeated Alberta 38-14 in the 2016 bronze medal game.
    Showcase for national team and next level coaches
    In addition to representing their provinces, participating players do not just showcase their talent for junior, CÉGEP and university coaches from across Canada but the event also serves as an identification opportunity for the national team. Starting in 2013, the top-40 players from the Canada Cup have been invited to represent Canada in an annual series against USA Football. ...

    If it's some sort of qualifier to go to the world tourney, than they would likely play American rules.
