Re: Canadian Football Books
Name your price for any of the Crown Life CFL Roster booklets which I believe were issued from 1955 to 1966. I do have the 1956 but the others have been difficult to come by.
I believe there was also a reprint of the 1961-1966 booklets by Joe Cronin. I do have his 1955-1960 reprint.

I had zero knowledge of these booklets but interestingly enough some information about them came to light last week in the Collecting Canadian Football blog:SheldonMulman wrote:Name your price for any of the Crown Life CFL Roster booklets which I believe were issued from 1955 to 1966.

With fearless determination, the author takes on the daunting task of tackling a timeless question that has thus far remained unanswered: How does the talent in the CFL truly compare to the NFL? "Bush League" takes you beyond the borders, and beyond the stigma, to confront the myths that have long overshadowed the true talent of the CFL.
Through detailed analysis using PSC ratings and PFF overall grades, "Bush League" paints an objective and unbiased picture of the talent comparison between both leagues. With precision and clarity, we analyze the performance of 20 players who have experienced comparable playing time in both the CFL and NFL to objectively determine how they measure up to their peers in either league. Get ready to witness the hard numbers that will definitively answer the question that has intrigued Canadian football enthusiasts for generations.

The years from 2015 to 2022 were punctuated by a world wide Pandemic. The league was tested, suffered the loss of a season, yet still managed to carry on. The National Day of Reconciliation was also celebrated in Canada that year, declared following an Edmonton Elks game against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. That game was broadcast in both English and Cree for the first time. Later, in September, the national anthem was sung in three languages, English, French and Cree. The legislation of sports betting in Ontario was another "first": the door was open. And the Grey Cup? It was always a game where anything could happen - and usually does.

Some of the earliest visual recordings of Canadian football were accomplished with bulky, hand-wound cameras which held three minutes worth of black-and-white film and had to be reloaded about 20 times per game. Ken Davey, a tireless photography aficionado who was the first person to film a Grey Cup game (in 1935), knew the craft well. He shared his passion with John Solilo, who would spend five decades as the main camera operator for Saskatchewan Roughriders home games. Solilo’s cameras recorded every play so coaches such as Eagle Keys, John Gregory and Jim Daley could watch the films for pre-game preparations. In the early days, Solilo had to teach coaches how to run the reel-to-reel projectors to watch those games.

Tremblay, Peter (2023). Canadian Football World League: Growing the CFL Through a New Independent International League. Agora Cosmopolitan. 978-1927538999. Softcover (82 pgs.)
In Canadian Football World League: Growing the CFL through a new independent international league, Peter Tremblay argues that the most logical direction for the CFL would be a "Canadian Football World League" (CFWL). The CFL is a leader in the International Alliance of Gridiron Football, and there has been significant interest in Canadian football and the CFL among international players and representative international organizations, demonstrating that a global professional football league using Canadian rules is more than viable. Based upon economic models already successfully implemented in other leagues and the unique identity of Canadian football, Peter Tremblay maintains that the time is right for a global approach to growing our national game.
