(The Canadian Junior Football League has been around in some capacity since the 40's. For you Americans its like the Canadian equivalent to like Junior college/NCAA Div III (hold the snickers)

It has probably put over a thousand players in the CIS (Canada's NCAA) and a lot of Canadian players who have played in the NJCAA, NAIA, and most importantly NCAA. Every year a small chunk of CFL rookies have CJFL roots, and a couple handful of ex-CJFL players have even made it into the NFL over the years of CJFL.

The media attention is usually local and provincial. Well yesterday my heart beamed with pride when i saw my league all over the three (four including the french RDS station) major sports networks. TSN sportscenter, all sportsnet's channels, and the score.

Not even our championship, the Canadian bowl, gets that much attention

Over one the most ridiculous fans vs player brawls I’ve seen, video is on the right of the page on the link.

Wow! Even though they were heckling I gotta say those fans really stuck up for themselves as best as they could. They didn't run and scatter when the starting line-up for the St. Leonard Cougars came after them. Some fans even formed up in a pack. At about the 1:17 mark in the center of the shot to the left of the fat man in black there's a heckler that gets knocked cold, slumps over the railing, and then instantly gets coldcocked by another player causing his limp, KO'd body to fall to the floor.

That was excellent. Don't fuck with the fans in Hamilton.

Way better video, you can clearly see the dude get knocked out, and another guy and cleat stomped
