The Crowchild Classic Medal

Each year, the team that wins the most games during the Crowchild Classic match-up will be awarded "The Medal", a 68-kilogram cast-iron City of Calgary manhole cover generously donated by Trojan Industries. The humble yet powerfully strong manhole cover can comfortably withstand millions of vehicles passing over it every day; it represents the pain and sacrifice that student-athletes willingly accept — often in the dark and without public recognition — in pursuit of the sport they love. It also symbolizes the very foundation of our great city and the freeway that connects our two universities.


This is probably the heaviest medal in all of sport. And the only one that says 'sewer'. Now that's something to fight over.
