So far so good. Montreal could very well be an amalgam of the Rams, WLAF Monarchs and your Cincinnati Kings.

 

As for your spring league, will Europe be included, or just be confined to North America? Excited to see it either way.

[hugevolsfan]

Just North America on the spring league.... The Rams will kinda show up in the spring as well...

[hugevolsfan]

Just for fun here are some Caps for each CFA team!

There was a lot of drama on this one! A city came in from no where to get this one after it looked like a lock for Las Vegas. I am updating the MLF to the new template when I do I will post & you will see the new city.

EDMONTON OUTLAWS

General Manager	John Hunter
Owner(s)	Edmonton Outlaws Football Club (Community Shared Owned)

Canada's Cup	10

 

2017 Season: The season was a roller coaster ride with losing 5 straight then winning 4 straight to close the season at 10-8. The upset of Regina in the playoffs just continued it. This team has been consistent with no real changes to the core players. Dave Peterson again had a strong season with 4,824 yards with 19 TD's & 11 Int's. The big surprise of was WR Mike Morin catching 115 balls for 1,233 yards & 8 TD's. The defense once again was strong led by DE Byron Barnette's 12 sacks.

 

Offseason: No real big offseason moves.

HAMILTON HUSKIES
Founded	1948
Based In	Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Home Field	Tim Hortons Field

Owner(s)	Bob Weston
Colours	Green & Yellow
Canada's Cup	8

 

2017 Season: After losing in the 2016 Cup Final 30-33 to Regina the Huskies felt like they would walk away champions especially after having the best record in the league at 13-5. QB Kerry Allen had another outstanding season with 33 TD's & was named the Most Outstanding Player but threw three interceptions in the East Final loss to Atlantic 28-36. The were able to overcome the loss of Anthony Bell with the pick up of Jerome Scott but he was not available in the playoffs with a ACL injury in the second to last game. WR Cory Smith did solidify himself as one of the best at his position with 85 catches for 1322 yards & 9 TD's. The defense was a solid group let by All-CFA Paul Trembley.

 

Offseason: Jay D'Orazio was brought in as offensive coordinator when Chris Stephenson left for Vancouver. There has been some talk of a trade of Kerry Allen because they are unsure if they can resign him.

Is that supposed to be a hidden WW at the bottom of the Winnipeg Wolves logo? If so, I like it! Very clever.

Home Field	Memorial Stadium
Head Coach	Kit Cameron
General Manager	Andre Julian
Owner(s)	Jim Bergman
Colours	Montreal Blue & Gold
Canada's Cup	5

 

2017 Season: The Monarchs have been the worst team in the league for 5 years with the past year being the best of all but they still only went 6-12. Marquel Kenner  had is best year at QB after coming over from Calgary. DE Adrian WIllis is still the most effective player on the team.

 

Offseason: The offseason has had a lot of changes with Bergman firing GM Kyle Young & hiring Andre Julian. Julian then went and hired former Vancouver head coach & current Regina offensive coordinator Kit Cameron to lead the franchise back to respectability. Julian then traded for back up QB Deontey Bishop from Ottawa. Cameron hired two first time coordinators in former QB Tony Barrett for offense and Ronald Embree for defense.

2017 Season: After hiring Matt Dutton to be head coach things were expected to go up but a 9-9 season followed. They did make the playoffs but QB Danny Graziano struggled down the stretch throwing 18 total interceptions with only 17 total TD's. RB Andre Moore is still the go to player on this team he had 12 total TD's. The defense was a force all season long with DE Demetris Jefferson & LB Adam Munoz doing it all. 

 

Offseason: The defense is expected to be even better this year with Cam Spencer coming over from Toronto to run the defense. However they will have to replace DB Quentin Phillips who signed with Montreal.

2017 Season: The 2016 Canada's Cup victors turned in another solid season at 12-6 but lost in the first round of the playoffs. QB Leon Joseph was not the problem has he had another solid season with 4,525 yards 21 TD's and 9 Int's. RB JJ Koons coming over from Calgary really filled the spot vacated by Jerome Scott's departure. WR Terrance Watt was out for the season and they really missed his big play ability. The defense was still solid led by All-Pro DL Darius Adams.

 

Offseason: No major changes.

2017 Season: The Toros missed the playoffs by one game going 8-9-1 but did beat tie the eventual champions Calgary. QB Donald Graves had another season where he missed several games due to injury. The 40 year old is contemplating retirement. RB Travon Sutton had a nice year with 1,569 all purpose yards and 11 total TD's. The defense was really good & kept them in some games with Solomon Mitchell in the running for MOP on defense. 

 

Offseason: Former Vancouver head coach Ron Patrick was brought in to run the offense with former Hamilton head coach Tim Kelly as the defensive coordinator. Armstrong brought in QB Cory Finnerty as a replacement for Graves if he retires. Finnerty has had success in the MLF Spring League with the Orlando Suns before coming on board last year with Atlantic.
