After
a successful season in the United States, the Lingerie Football League
has expanded into other countries worldwide. The first official
international transition from the United States league was into Canada,
and with it the LFL kicked off higher than the Skylon Tower on the
Canadian grounds.
The
success from the US league helped build the Canadian league into strong
and successful one thus far. By using strategies from the US league and
improving on them, the Canadian league and its following continues to
grow. The popularity of this organization was able to get the attention
from British Columbia’s CHEK television. CHEK Television agreed to cover
all eight LFL Saturday Night Football regular season games, as well as
the LFL Canada Lingerie Bowl. Along with CHEK Television, the LFL will
announce another major Canadian broadcaster agreement as early as next
week.
As
this organization continues to grow and develop rapidly, one of the
LFL’s goals continues to be branding the teams and athletes in the best
way possible. Having athletes compete in the Canadian League after being
star performers in the US league is something to keep an eye out. Green
Bay Chill quarterback and US League MVP Anne Erler stuck out in Canada
playing on the Saskatoon squad. Ultra competitive athletes like Erler
strike the field hard, playing a style of football that grabs the
attention of fans and creates a following. This is what the LFL is all
about.
The
launch of the United States league has helped establish a foundation
and open doors for all the other international leagues to come. The
Canadian league will be another stepping stone toward the worldwide
future of the LFL. The first inter-league game in the history of the
LFL, The Pacific Cup, is scheduled to take place when the Seattle Mist
take on the BC Angels in Seattle on December 15th, 2012.
“This
inaugural season of LFL Canada had an incredible resemblance to the
first season of LFL USA in 2009. Knowing the success that followed in
the US, we are incredibly encouraged about the potential of our sport in
Canada”, said Mitchell S. Mortaza, Founder & Chairman, LFL Global,
LLC.
“Oh Canada!”
