CFL Team History

The Canadian Football League (CFL) has a rich history that dates back to its formation in 1958. With a unique style of play and a passionate fan base, the CFL has become an integral part of Canada's sporting culture. Let's explore the history of some notable CFL teams that have left a lasting impact on the league.

The Hamilton Tiger-Cats, established in 1950, are one of CFL's oldest and most successful teams. With 15 Grey Cup appearances, the team has won the championship on eight occasions, solidifying its status as one of the league's powerhouses. Led by legendary players like Angelo Mosca, Bernie Faloney, and Garney Henley, the Tiger-Cats have consistently been a force to be reckoned with on the field.

The Edmonton Eskimos, now known as the Edmonton Football Team, have had a storied history in the CFL. Founded in 1949, the team quickly established itself as a dominant force, winning the Grey Cup five times from 1978 to 1982. With a strong tradition of success and a passionate fan base, the Eskimos have become one of the most iconic franchises in the league.

The Calgary Stampeders, founded in 1935, have a long and storied history in the CFL. The team has won the Grey Cup multiple times, with their most recent victory coming in 2018. Throughout the years, the Stampeders have boasted a number of talented players, including quarterbacks Doug Flutie and Bo Levi Mitchell, who have led the team to success.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders, founded in 1910, holds a special place in the hearts of CFL fans. With a devoted fan base known as the "Rider Nation," the team has consistently drawn impressive attendance numbers and is known for its passionate supporters. The Roughriders have won the Grey Cup four times, with their most recent victory coming in 2013. The team's rich history and strong fan support have made them a beloved and iconic franchise in the CFL.

These are just a few examples of the many teams that have made their mark on the history of the CFL. Each team has played a significant role in shaping the league, from the success of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats to the passionate fan base of the Saskatchewan Roughriders. With its unique style of play and dedicated fan following, the CFL continues to be an integral part of Canadian sports culture.
