CFL Launches Family Fantasy Football

Story Tools

This is where your family can compete for the same prize as CFL teams - a trip to the Grey Cup.

 

It's the new Canadian Family Football League, featuring the first football fantasy game designed for the entire family.

 

It's a chance for kids of all ages to have fun, learn more about their favourite CFL players and teams, and compete for terrific prizes from Reebok.

 

But you can also compete as a football family, and win a trip to the 96th Grey Cup Festival and game in Montreal.

 

"Our league is all about families. We pride ourselves on the fact our game is affordable for families, and our players are accessible to families," said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon.

 

"The Canadian Family Football League is a fun extension of our identity. And we're kicking it off with a fantasy game that, we hope, will bring families together in a fun way."

 

Kids under 14 can compete in the "young stars" division, kids over 14 can compete as "seasoned vets", and anyone can form a "football family" of two to four players, either by teaming up with friends or their real-life family.

 

"Our fantasy game is easy enough for a young child to master and challenging enough for the most experienced fantasy game player," Cohon said.

 

To add to the fun, the game features The Fantasy Freaks, CFFL mascots with attitude! All players will have a freak of their own, and will be able to tweak their freak to match their own fantasy football style.

 

The game is totally free and is aimed at educating and entertaining CFL fans of all ages - and families most of all.
