The Division I Championship match saw the Holy Trollers defeat the Locomotion to secure their first title since the days of the Louis-Cyr League!
Congratulations to all of the Holy Trollers and a big thank you to all of our players for a great fall season! We hope to see you this January for the winter season or next year in the spring!
Hey everyone,
Thanks to the efforts of David Cano, one of our long time players, the MFL will be doing some fund raising for the Quebec Cancer Foundation and we'd like as many of our teams as possible to represent us!
The donations will be done by team (someone on your team will need to setup the team for donations on the website - instructions will follow) and we'll be running the fundraiser until November 11th (the end of the fall season).
The team that has the most money donated will get a $300 discount on their next season!
Here's all the information you should need from David, but please ask if you have any questions:

It was a great opening weekend for the MFL Fall season at Ignace-Bourget park on Saturday with all of our teams at the same park again for the first time this year.
Div 1 saw three very close games (and one blow out that we won’t talk about) with the Coqs eking out a 2 point win over the Outlaws, but still wasn’t as tight as the Krakens last play of the game win over the OG Panthers. The game everyone stopped to watch though, was the Locomotion versus Revolucion game which saw two high powered offenses gunning it out with the Locomotion finally taking the win in the end by making a goal line stand to take the W.
In Division 2, Old School looked like they were still in a funk from their loss in the finals in the spring, but they’ve got the talent to be strong contenders for the championship this fall. The Team 8 vs Team 4 matchup saw a tight defensive game with each team only scoring one offensive TD, but Team 8 came out on top with a pick 6 to get a 12-6 final win.
The Raccoons faced a Team 5 squad that was composed of subs, but it still turned out to be a great game with Team 5 stopping a 2 point conversion on the last play of the game to get the 21-19 win, though the Raccoons still got the forfeit win. Finally, Team 7 against Team 6 saw the experience of Aftab Mian lead his Team 6 over Team 7 in a convincing first win of the year.
Next week we’ll be playing at Ignace-Bourget again for the second week of cross-conference games, but it will be the last week there as the park is under construction by the city after that. And don’t worry Eastern conference teams, all of your cross-town games are done!
Championship Saturday is over and we have 2 new champions!
Stephen Persaud wins his first MFL Championship leading his Outlaws to victory over the Cinderella story Knights of Longueuil Beach (KOLB), who themselves pulled off a stunning upset victory over the Holy Trollers to make the finals.
Team 9 with Kris Hope leading the way at QB continued their unstoppable rampage, taking the inaugural MFL Division 2 Championship trophy in their first year!
Congratulations to both winning teams and thanks to all of our players for a great spring season!
Quart de finale
Fin de semaine haute en couleurs tel que prévu! Avec des surprises, des déceptions, de la pluie, du soleil, quatre équipes victorieuses et quatre équipes dorénavant en vacances. La semaine prochaine, nous verrons les demi-finales et finales des deux divisions au parc Ignace-Bourget, le point culminant de la saison, ce moment final où nous saurons qu’elle équipe est la meilleure de chaque division. En attendant, voici quelques résumés de matchs et n’oubliez le gala de dimanche!
Holy Trollers vs Les Gros Coqs
Ce fût un match très intense où l’équipe qui a été le plus habitué de jouer ensemble en est sortie vainqueur. Dans la défaite de 31 à 12 que les Gros Coqs ont subie, c’est Charles Rousseau-Bélanger qui est sorti du lot avec 52 verges captés, 1 touché et 9 plaqués, mais la chimie du QB Max Rosenfeld et Josh Levine (3 touchés) ont déclassés les Gros Coqs.
Samedi prochain, le green machine affronteront le puissant KOLB armés de David Gutkovsky (376 verges captés en saison régulière) et de Vincent Thierry Taillefer (33 plaqués, 1 sack et 5 interceptions en saison régulière) afin de déterminer qui accèdera à une place pour le match ultime.
Outlaws vs Krakens
Dans ce festival offensif, les Outlaws ont gagné 43 à 24, entre autres, grâce à Vincent Blondin, ses 6 plaqués et son interception retourné pour un touché. Il faut tout de même souligner l’incroyable énergie déployée par les Krakens et leur capitaine offensif, Robert Prudhomme qui a tout donné avec 213 verges et 4 touchés aériens.
Les Outlaws disputeront la demi-finale contre La Revolucion. Est-ce que Stephen Persaud (le meilleur QB de la division en verges gagnés et passes de touchés) réussira à vaincre Raphael Levy et sa troupe de receveurs d’élites (1er au classement en verges captés avec 2286 verges)? Match titanesque à ne pas manquer!
Old School vs Sooners 45
Une partie très défensive où Jose Luis Castro Jr a réussi 7 plaqués dont 5 sacks, du côté des Old School, il aura fallu attendre le 6ème tour de prolongation pour qu’Adam Rudick rejoigne Patrick Manning et emporte le match 7à6.
La semaine prochaine, Old School affronteront Mr. Meeseeks en demi-finale, ceux-ci ont terminés au premier rang des interceptions dans la division, on peut donc s’attendre à une autre rencontre défensive.
Iron Wolves vs Brown Machines
Ce fût un match serrer du début à la fin mais malgré les 215 verges et 4 touchés aériens de Jon Evans, les Browns Machines l’ont emporté 26 a 25 à la toute fin du match lorsque Dylan Moriarity rejoignit Jason Henry sur 20 verges pour le touché fatidique.
Leur prochain match sera contre Team 9 avec leur redoutable quart-arrière Kris Hope ainsi que leur leader défensif Chris Schilling. Très difficile il sera de prédire le vainceur.
