The Northern Football Conference (NFC) is a semi-professional Canadian football league with franchises based primarily in Ontario, Canada. The league consists of five teams and runs from May until mid-August. It's the oldest running senior amateur football league in Canada.[1]
The league began playing in 1954 (then they were known as Northern Ontario Rugby Football Union) with four teams participating, and has operated continuously with as many as 11 teams since then. The annual league champion is awarded the Plaunt Memorial Trophy, named for Greater Sudbury veteran Donald Plaunt who was killed in action during World War II.
In 2000, the NFC became a founding member of the Canadian Senior Football League, which is now known as the Canadian Major Football League. The CMFL is the national governing body for semi-pro Canadian football. Every September the NFC champion meets the champion of the Alberta Football League to determine the national champion (Sid Forster Memorial Trophy), with the game site alternating each year.[2]
