Junior Ontario Rugby Football Union Playoffs 1906 [Ref: 2]

The Junior Ontario Rugby Football Union (Canadian Football) featured a marathon Championship series for the time, with up to 24 teams divided into 8 groups or districts, followed by a series of playdowns or playoffs before the Championship Final, which was won by Hamilton Jr Tigers III in 1902, Kingston Limestones in 1903, Dundas II in 1904, Toronto Victorias II in 1905, and Toronto Tammany Tigers in 1906.

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

Junior Inter-Collegiate Rugby Football Union Results 1906 [Ref: 2]

The Junior Inter-Collegiate Football union was one of two Junior College Football (Canadian Football) Leagues in Canada in 1906, the other being the Little Big Four. The JICFU was based in Ontario, Canada, with the University of Toronto II, Queens University (Kingston), Royal Military College (Kingston) and McMaster University (Hamilton) all based in the Province, and unlike the Little Big four, were all Universities, rather than Colleges in Status.

Queens University from Kingston won the Championship in 1906, having defeated Royal Miltary College II and University of Toronto Varsity II in a three-round knockout (elimination) tournament.

The Little Big Four was a Canadian Junior Rugby Union (Canadian Football) League operating among four Canadian Colleges: Ridley College Tigers, St. Andrew College Saints, Trinity College School Bigside and Upper Canada College Blues. All are from Toronto, Ontario, with the exception of Ridley College, which is based in St. Catherines, Ontario.

During the period 1902 to 1906 Ridley College Tigers won the Championship three times and Upper Canada College Blues twice.

The Canadian Junior Football League has been running Amateur Province-based Championships 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

Manitoba Junior Rugby Football Union Series 1893-1904 [Ref: 2]

Note: * Score of Single Game. + There was also a third game which was a tie.

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.
