Canadian Football News in 1954

1954 is generally recognized as the start of the modern era of Canadian football.[2]

The BC Lions joined the WIFU and adopted the colours of burnt orange and brown. The NBC national network were televising IRFU games.[3]

Winnipeg's Gerry James (RB), became the first player to win the Most Outstanding Canadian Award.[4]

This was the last season that the Ontario Rugby Football Union would be allowed to challenge for the Grey Cup.[5]
