Seasons prior to 1907 are low priority to research. The CFL inherited the records from the IRFU (back to 1907) and WIFU (back to 1936), information prior to these dates needs to be independently researched. Though teams have history stretching back to the 1800's, game results and other information from before the two senior leagues were formed is not readily available.
The information on the 1897 season is not complete. Standings, records, results, attendance, etc. are being compiled. Please help CFLdb fill in the missing information.
