During the 2025 NFL Flag Championships, @RYFFL had a 5-1 record in Canton, OH and finished the tournament outscoring their opponents 159-49 following their loss in the semi-final 🇨🇦
What a weekend in Canton, Ohio, for @ryffl at the 2025 NFL Flag Championships 🇨🇦
Canada went undefeated in group play before a hard-fought semi-final loss to Mexico. Saskatchewan and the entire country were proudly represented on the biggest stage 👏
HAPPY SEMI-FINAL GAME DAY ‼️

@LWillson_82 They didn’t give advance warning or anything. So we had 900 players ready to play flag in the fall with no backing. So we contacted our NFL Flag connection and asked if we could order gear but change the rules to suit what we were doing /3
@LWillson_82 Regina and Montreal were the only two cities whose pilot programs were growing yr over yr.
2017 - We had 300.
2018 - We had 600
2019 - We had 900.
In 2019, it was when I contacted the CFL to do our order that I found out that they were no longer going to do the CFL program./2
@LWillson_82 Hey Luke,
Just wanna give some insight on what Ballsy mentioned. The CFL dropped the fall flag program initiative for the 2019 season. The CFL started a pilot program with 4 cities (Vancouver, Regina, Toronto, and Montreal) in 2017 was supposed to go until 2019. (1/4)
@czemeres Much love and appreciation Shannon! Thank YOU for giving your time to the kids in your community. We can’t be as good as an organization without great people like yourself 🙏🏾👊🏾
Last day of Spring @RYFFL this am - the rain held off which was great! We didn’t get a win today but the girls played hard and we did our handoffs correct!! They ended the season 4-4!! #TitanUp
