Report

Grand Trunk won the Quebec Independent Football League (Canadian Junior Football) in 1904 and 1905, although in 1904 they subsequently lost in Playdowns with non-League members Quebec City Jrs and Montreal Rugby Club III, who went on to the Championship Game, which Montreal Rugby Club III won 26-9.

The QIJFL was one of two Junior Canadian Football Leagues in Quebec during these years, the other being the Junior Quebec Rugby Football Union, although they did not challenge each other for the title of Provincial Champions.

The Canadian Junior Football League has been running Amateur Province-based Championships for players aged 18-23 since 1887, under various names (Canadian Rugby Union, Canadian Junior Football League). In Canada Gridiron Football was known as Rugby until the Canadian Football League split away from the Canadian Rugby Union in 1958 to form its own Professional League and adopt more American Football Rules. The sport has been known as Canadian Football since. (For more on Canadian Football history see: Canadian Football Leagues

Report

The Manitoba Junior rugby Football Union ran a series of Intermittent Games over Spring and Fall from 1893 to 1904. A lot of these series were inconclusive, however overall, St. John’s Royalists Jrs had the better of Winnipeg FC Jrs, the other main team involved. Other games included Wesley College in 1898 and in 1904, there was a team called Winnipeg Kennedys, which lost 9-0 to St. John’s Royalists. Given the name, Kennedys may have been an Irish team.

Note: The Atlantic Schooners were formed in 1982, but have had trouble building a stadium, and have focussed since then on promoting Canadian Football in the Maritime Provinces by hosting Preseason and Regular Season CFL games. Halifax City Council approved a plan for a stadium in 2019.

Note 2: The Grey Cup (the Canadian Football League Championship Game) has been played for since 1909.

Note 3: The Canadian Football Council broke away from the Canadian Rugby Union in 1958 and renamed itself the Canadian Football League.

Note 4: The CFL attempted to establish teams in the United States in the 1990s. Only the Baltimore franchise was successful, and was moved to Montreal and renamed the Alouettes after the other four teams folded after the 1995 season.
