(306) 773-1977 In Honour Of Walter Edwards WWII Veteran Thank You to our Grandfather and all Service Personnel, both past and present. The Bud Weaver Memorial Trophy is awarded annually to the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association's 4A Provincial Football Champion. The provincial football championship game is held every year on the second weekend in November. The championship trophy is named the Bud Weaver trophy which honours the late Bud Weaver. The 2012 championship game marked the 64th anniversary of the tribute. Bud died while serving with the RAF during World War II. Harold (Bud) Weaver attended Bedford Road Collegiate and the University of Saskatchewan where he played as a halfback and punter with the Huskies. He also played professionally for some time following his days with the Huskies. In May 1941 at age 28, he was posted overseas. He was killed in action on September 20, 1941. Until 1946, a provincial high school final had never been held, but in the course of a few days that November, the idea took wing. Four days before the game, Ross Pinder, a former Huskie quarterback, got together with the University of Saskatchewan coaches. They each contributed $15 toward buying a trophy to be awarded to the provincial high school football champion. In honour of Bud Weaver and other Huskies, the inscription reads: In revered memory of the members of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies who lost their lives in the Great War 1939-45.
