The Shrum Bowl was a university rivalry game played between the gridiron football teams of the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds and the Simon Fraser University (SFU) Red Leafs. The game was named after Gordon Shrum who was a professor and later a dean at UBC from 1925 to 1961 and served as the first chancellor of SFU from 1964 to 1968.[1] It was a cross-town rivalry with UBC being located in the University Endowment Lands just west of Vancouver, British Columbia, and SFU located approximately 30 kilometres away in Burnaby, British Columbia.
The University of British Columbia had been the final champion prior to the disbandment of the Simon Fraser University gridiron football program in 2023,[2] though Simon Fraser led in the series with an all-time record of 17–16–1. In the 55-year history of the rivalry game, the Shrum Bowl had been played 34 times.
