  • Happy Anniversary to Us

    Wow. Time sure does fly. It’s been just over a year since I launched the Canadian Football History website.

    Admittedly, I wasn’t quite certain there would be an audience for the content I wanted to share here. Sure, I was a football fan and a history buff, but were there others out there who would be interested in this stuff? Well, it turns out there are plenty of you. And this makes me happy.

    The site averages about 1000 visitors per month, which is a nice start. Not surprisingly, the bulk of these visitors are from Canada. But there is a good chunk of web traffic from the United States and Europe, too.

    We have a strong presence in the social media landscape and are active on Facebook and Bluesky. And we’ve gained some good traction using Reddit and the CFL forums (both excellent communities btw). CFH is even on the Fediverse (which I am still trying to figure out).

    I hope to have some exciting news to share in the coming weeks and months as CFH continues to grow and evolve. I’ll continue to pump out fresh (as “fresh” as historical content can be, of course) on a regular basis but will probably take a brief break on publishing any lengthy articles until the new year.

    In the meantime, I want to thank you for following along, reading the articles, and by sharing with me a passion for celebrating the rich history of the great game of Canadian football.

  • Welcome to my blog

    Welcome to my Canadian football history blog. As a longtime CFL football fan and season ticket holder of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, I believe our league, our teams, and our game are a great story.

    While there is a great deal of content online pertaining to the present game, I feel there is gap when it comes to the stories of the past. The notion of a blog with a focus on Canadian football history came to me one day when browsing old newspapers looking for information on a completely different subject. I realized that there are literally thousands upon thousands of news articles, pictures, and other information out there ready to be seen, read, and consumed once again by a new generation.

    So, without further ado let’s get this kicked off.
