The Duckworth Challenge began in 1992 as the brainchild of Dr. Henry E. Duckworth (UWinnipeg President, 1971-81 and University of Manitoba Chancellor, 1986-92). The Duckworth Challenge, named in his honour, offers an annual opportunity for friendly competition between The University of Winnipeg Wesmen and the University of Manitoba Bisons.
