1944 in Canadian football


The WIFU and the IRFU suspended operations for the duration of World War II.

In late August, the Winnipeg Rugby Club (aka Blue Bombers) suspended operations for the 1944 season. The team loaned its equipment to local high schools.

The Regina Roughriders disbanded in early October. Unlike the previous season, the 1944 Roughriders did not have servicemen available to the team. Regular practices were conducted but the team gave up on the season when they failed to recruit enough civilian men to field a team.

NOTE: During this time most players played both ways, so the All-Star selections do not distinguish between some offensive and defensive positions.
