History

|
In 1999 the Western Mass Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame discussed the possibility of having an All-Star game for graduating seniors. There were attempts to have All-Star games before, the games never lasted more than a couple of years. The coaches had ways to organize the teams, coaching staffs, equipment, practice and game sites, but didn't have the resources or manpower to handle publicity, game management, ticket sales and other organizational needs.
Long time Chapter member Ron Abdow set up a meeting with football foundation president Alex Rotsko and Shrine representative Tony Koss. Koss liked the idea and brought it to the Melha Shriners. The original plan was to set up a game with AIIStars from Western and Central Mass playing against a team from Connecticut. Many of the Connecticut teams were committed to an All-Star game against Rhode Island, so the present West vs. Central format was selected. |

After several years of organization, the first Chowder Bowl was played in 2001, but not without incident. The game ended in a 0-0 tie after severe thunder and lightning storms knocked out the electricity and ended the game early. Despite the weather, the first game was a success and it is safe to say the Chowder Bowl is here to stay. |
