First things first: A Nova Scotia-trained player will hoist the Grey Cup on Sunday. The CFL championship takes place in Vancouver this weekend between the B.C. Lions and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Three Atlantic University athletes will represent the east coast.

Cauchy Muamba and his brother Henoc Muamba are both graduates of St. Francis Xavier University. Only one will win, however, as they'll be playing for opposing sides for Canada's biggest football trophy. Cauchy plays defensive back for the Lions while Henoc is a linebacker for the Bombers. They will be joined by a third St. FX grad, Akeem Foster, a Lions' wide receiver.
