The 87^th The Hardy Cup will be played at Griffiths Stadium in Saskatoon on Saturday, November 9. The University of Saskatchewan Huskies will host the University of Regina Rams.

The Huskies and Rams picked up surprise wins in the Canada West playoffs last week. The fourth-ranked University of Regina Rams scored the go-ahead touchdown with 19 seconds left in their 28-25 upset win over the top-ranked Manitoba Bisons. Meanwhile, in Vancouver, the Huskies erased an 18-point fourth-quarter deficit to cruise to a 38-33 victory over the University of British Columbia.

Before the championship game, the Canada West Conference revealed its all-star teams.

Regina lineman Tarick Polius, defensive backs Brandon Wong, Dolan Robinson and Jackson Sombach and Huskies linebacker Seth Hundeby were recognized on defense.

Polius joined the Rams this season out of the Okanagan Suns’ junior program. He led all Canada West linemen with 26.5 tackles during the regular season. He finished tied for third in the conference with 3.5 sacks and fourth in Canada West with 6.5 tackles for loss.

Wong was a unanimous all-star selection. In seven regular season games, the linebacker had 15 solo tackles, 12 assisted tackles, one interception, one pass breakup and one sack.

The Rams primarily used Robinson as a shutdown corner. Although he missed two games due to injury, he ended up with eight solo tackles, seven assisted tackles and one pass breakup.

Sombach, a defensive back, played in all eight regular season games and recorded one interception and a team-leading six assists. Sombach, who was drafted by the Calgary Stampeders in 2024, also finished the year with 16 solo tackles, seven assisted tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss.

Hundeby, a fourth-year engineering student, recorded 29 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in eight games this season.

Offensively, Saskatchewan tackle Jack Warrack, receiver Daniel Wiebe and running backs Ryker Frank and Kody Gutek were praised.

Warrack is a third-year commerce student from Strathmore, Alberta. The offensive lineman was named Canada West Rookie of the Year in 2002.

Wiebe is a speedy receiver from Saskatoon. He caught 52 passes in eight games for 807 yards for his hometown Huskies. He also added 269 punt return yards to his 1,074 combined yards this season.

Frank, a former Leboldus Golden Sun running back, is no stranger to Canada West accolades. In 2022, he was named an All-Star and recipient of the Student-Athlete Community Service Award. In 2024, he has carried the ball 152 times for 952 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Gutek, from Martensville, Saskatchewan, is primarily used as a tight end and fullback in the Huskies’ offense. He finished the regular season with 11 receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown in eight games.
