Quebec Junior Football League
Encyclopedia
The Quebec Junior Football League (QJFL) operated from 1970 to the present, as a successor to the Quebec Juvenile Football League
. It began competition as a conference of the Canadian Junior Football League
from which it eventually withdrew. Upon withdrawal from the CJFL, the QJFL incorporated teams from the Ottawa, Ontario region and created the league as it stands today. In one form or another, the QJFL can trace its roots back to 1908. Annually the League awards the regular season champions the Cyril F. White Trophy, and the playoff champions the Manson Cup.
