The 2006 Saskatchewan Huskies became only the third team to play in a Vanier Cup that their school was hosting, when the University of Saskatchewan hosted the 42nd Vanier Cup. The Toronto Varsity Blues were the first when they won two Vanier Cups in 1965 and 1993. Saskatchewan also became the first western school to host the national championship game.
