 * Comment. While high school football contests are typically not notable, the GHB is an annual match to determine the football championship of a region with over 8 million people.  And the game does seem to get very extensive coverage in the Canadian press.  See, e.g., Fears of violence force cancellation of grid showdown, Toronto Star, 1996; ROAD TO GOLDEN HORSESHOE BOWL-EAST, Toronto Star, 2003; Golden comeback for Crusaders; Assumption wins school's first Bowl Pivot Brannagan tosses late TD pass, Toronto Star, 2004;, Toronto Star, 2006; Knights repeat as Golden Horseshoe Bowl champs, Hamilton Mountain News, 2007; Lakeshore wins first bowl since 2003, Toronto Sun, 2008; Fightin' Irish in bowl rematch, The Hamilton Spectator, 2009; Irish eyes are smiling, Hamilton Spectator, 2010; Gators' hearts broken again in loss to Fighting Irish, Niagara Falls Review, 2011.  Unless there's an absolute prohibition on articles concerning high school championship games (??), this one appears to satisfy general notability standards given the coverage it receives on an annual basis in major Canadian media outlets.
