What a year for Flag Football in Canada. Starting off in Edmonton months ago with tournaments hosted in every CFL team city, we finally reached the Tournament Championships in Ottawa during Grey Cup week. A representative from each city flew to Ottawa and competed in a day of incredible catches, throws and sportsmanship.
Let the fun BEGIN!!! #CFL @NFLCanada #FlagFootballFinals
