Quebec Junior Football League
The Quebec Junior Football League (QJFL) is a junior Canadian football competition held in Quebec, Canada, since 1970, as a successor to the Quebec Juvenile Football League. It began competition as a conference of the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL), from which it eventually withdrew. Upon withdrawal from the CJFL, the QJFL incorporated teams from the Ottawa region in Ontario 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 T. White Trophy, and the playoff champions the Joe Pistilli Cup, formerly known as the Manson Cup.
