    Re 2009 Champions (High School) - some teams named show 6 man, 9 man, and 10 man categories - what type of football are they playing (what rules, what size field, etc.)?

    In Saskatchewan, football is a very popular sport. In order to accommodate the rural community, Saskatchewan has developed a five classification system: 1A Sixman, 2A Sixman, 9 man, 3A 12man and 4A 12man. The population of your school determines the classification that you are in. I was first introduced to sixman football six years ago. I had no idea how you could play football with only half the players on the field. You soon find out that althought there are minor differences in terms of rules and the type of schemes you can run, football is football and the kids on the field have just as much fun whether your playing with 6, 9 or 12 players at a time.

    In new brunswick, the 12-man league is obviously canadian football. The 10 man rules are the exact same but the tackle position on offense is eliminated. Same motion, same basic formations, just two less people.

    Hey Mr MDRams15.
    As a bit of a historian i thought the evolution of BC football was that the game traveled up the coast so to speak. Meaning it was a north-south evolution (due to the geography of BC compared to the US and the rest of Canada - i.e. the Rocky mountains being in the way) rather than a east-west evolution which would have resulted in more Canadian Rules being played. As a consequence of that evolution the high schools play American rules on American fields. The other leagues that expanded east-west (CFL, CJFL, other) played Canadian rules. So i thought it was more of a historical evolution due to geography rather than a reason to play american teams. Interested in hearing your response.

    Partially true. It all has to do with the Catholic brothers of Vancouver College who began playing American rules against similar Catholic schools in Seattle and other schools stateside during the 1930s because they were banned from the Vancouver city league which played Canadian Rules Rugby at the time. As high schools in Vancouver ebbed and flowed between having a football team and not having a football team, VC remained the sole constant and thus became the gold standard of all high school football in Vancouver and BC. As high schools began signing up for football like Notre Dame and other public schools again during the 1950s, they continued under VC's tradition of playing American rules and have been doing so ever since. I don't think it will ever change to Canadian rules, as the idea of American rules is so entrenched within the High School Football coaches, it's a way of segregating themselves from community football, and from the rest of Canada, to remain special and unique. VC football is still revered everywhere within the province, and will always hold a special place in high school football here in B.C.

    I think the american way of play has kinda happend by accident from reading other posts but i dont feel its any less patriotic or Canadian in the sense that i think in B.C. we like to show americans Canadians dont screw around when it comes to football we like to beat em at there own game, i would also like to point out every B.C. highschool team that played an american team this season WON! thats right the Canadians won every game i remember when we played jefferson oregon we won like 67-6
