Report

There was no League season on the West Coast from 1936-1937, with the Salinas Packers playing an independent schedule. In 1936 they defeated the Los Angeles Bulldogs of the AFL 21-17, and Wisconsin Cardinals 61-0. The Packers played against the Brooklyn Dodgers of the NFL in 1936, losing 18-0 and also the Green Bay Packers (NFL Champions) who won 42-7. [1]

In 1937 the Salinas Packers played three AFL teams: Los Angeles Bulldogs (Later that season AFL Champions), losing 0-13, two victory over the Rochester Tigers (25-0) and (7-3), and the Boston Shamrocks (Salinas beat the defending AFL Champions 41-0). The Bulldogs won two December games against the Packers, leaving a 3-0 sweep for the LA team on the West Coast in 1937. [2]

In 1938 Pro League Football returned to the West Coast, with the California Football League, featuring the Salinas Packers, as well as fellow San Fernando Valley teams the Fresno Crushers & Stockton Shippers, who won the title. There were also teams in Oakland (Cardinals) and Hollywood (Stars), giving the League a Major League feel to it, although it was more AAA in status.

Report

The Pacific Coast Pro Football League of 1934-1935 paved the way for the AAA Pacific Coast Pro Football League of 1940-1948, which from 1943-1945 was a Major League Rival to the NFL on the West Coast.

The PCPFL of the 1930s itself could boast AAA status in 1935, when the Los Angeles Maroons, Hollywood Braves & California Shamrocks vied with the Westwood Cubs for the Championship.

The Del Rey / California Shamrocks were clearly marketed to the Irish Community on the West Coast but had little success, failing to win a game in its two seasons. [1]

Report

The interest in Football in Ashland & Middletown communities in Kentucky led the Armco Manufacturing Company to fund the creation of two Football teams, playing against semi-pro opposition in the Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia area such as the NFL’s Portsmouth Spartans, Canton Bulldogs, Dayton Triangles & Ironton Tanks.

The Portsmouth team would one day move to Detroit becoming the Lions, and are still in existence and the Indianapolis Colts team can be traced back to the Triangles, although the NFL only officially includes the record of the 1953 Colts onwards. Canton, Ohio, is famous as the birthplace of Pro Football, and is where the Pro Football Hall of Fame is based.

Players were employed by Armco and drew large crowds. Ashland won 6 of the 8 games between the two Armco teams.

Ashland’s schedule from 1926 included the following: Canton Bulldogs, Cincinnati Guards, Cincinnati Potters, Cleveland Panthers, Columbus Tigers, Dayton Koors, Dayton Triangles, Ft. Wayne Pyramids, Ironton Tanks, Kokomo Legion, Middletown Armco Blues, Portsmouth Spartans & West Virginia Wildcats.

Middletown’s Schedule included: Akron Awnings, Ashland Armco, Chillicothe Eagles, Cincinnati National Guard, CAC of Cincinnati, Cleveland Indians, Dayton Koors, Dayton Triangles, Hamilton Legion, Bobbs-Chevrolet of Indianapolis, Ironton Tanks, Kokomo Legion, Louisville CAC, Muncie Flyers, Portsmouth Spartans, Portsmouth Presidents, Springfield All Stars, Toledo Police, & Wabash.

Former College players on the roster of Middletown included those with Irish names: Don O’Brien (Purdue), Forest McGuire (Swathmore), Earl Sullivan (St. Xavier).Jim McMillan (Purdue).

About

Big Four Football was the Vancouver Area Canadian Football Championship from 1947, during the Canadian Rugby Union Era (1947-1966) through the Canadian Amateur Football Association Era (1967-1973) until the Canadian National Junior Football League Era (1974- 1981).

This was Canadian Football’s Junior League, with Leagues in each of the Provinces, and a Canadian Junior Championship Playoff System for each Provincial Leagues winner. It formed a level below the Canadian Football League, Canada’s Premier Football League, and was reserved for players aged 18-22.

Report

Vancouver Blue Bombers dominated Big Four Football between 1947 and 1956, winning the title on eight occasions – only CYO Red Raiders in 1952, and Vancouver Meralomas, in 1956, broke this dominance.

Report

The Antracite Football league was set up in 1923 among the Coal-Mining Communities of Pennsylvania and Upsate New York. It was a reaction against the spiralling costs of running a team in the National Football League and the glamour associated with it, which was seen by many as taking away from what was a hard-working class game.

Many of the owners, such as James “Casey” Gildea of the Coaldale Big Green and Joe Keating, James Rafferty & T. Conner of Gilberton had both Irish Christian Names & Family Names, suggesting a strong Irish connection with the League, which was promoted by the Pottsville Republican newspaper as being Football in connection with its roots.

By the end of the year, though, teams were outbidding each other for players and the League began to rival the NFL, ending what was a unique development at the time. [1]

Report

The Inaugural China Arena Football League season took place in 2016. There were six teams, playing a five-game schedule, with a playoff round featuring first v second, third v fourth and fifth v sixth. Beijing Lions finished top of the regular season with a 5-0 record and beat Qingdao Clipper (3-2) 35-34 in the Final. In the third place playoff, Shanghai Skywalkers (3-2) won 57-52 against Guangzhou Power (2-3), whilst Shenzhen Naja (2-3) consigned Dalian Dragon Kings (0-5) to the wooden spoon with a 46-30 victory

Wuhan Gators won all 3 Championship Tournament Round-Robin matches in 2019 to finish top of the table, and earn a place in the Championship Game against Beijing Lions who won their other two matches. Shanghai Legend finished bottom, losing all their matches and played against Shenyang Black Rhinos in the 3rd Place Playoff. [4-5]

In the 3rd Place Playoff, the Shenyang Black Rhinos won again against the Shanghai Legend, after both teams came out guns blazing, scoring on their opening drives. [6]

The Championship Game proved an epic struggle, with Wuhan Gators sending their fans home happy, coming from behind to beat the defending Champions, Beijing Lions 30-22. The Lions had taken a 22-14 lead after an amazing catch and run by Wide Receiver Devin Jones, but the Gators came right back, with tournament MVP Jarred Evans leading the team to a tieing score. In Overtime QB Evans found WR Shida Wang, who outfought the defender, in tight coverage, for the score. The Two-Point Conversion was successful, leaving the Gators 30-22 up, and the there were wild celebrations in the Wuhan camp after the Lions were unable to respond on their next drive. [7]

About

The China Arena Football League was started in 2016 by the Arena Football League, which introduced the novel 8v8 Arena/Indoor version of American Football in 1986. The CAFL was part of an ambitious Global Expansion plan by the AFL, although it lasted only one season.

It was brought back by the AFL in 2019, and the first preseason matches went ahead as scheduled despite reports on the AFL website that it was filing for bankruptcy on November 27, 2019.

The China Arena Football League Championship Tournament, held over one weekend, took place on 6-8 December 2019.
