Can-Am Indoor Football League


The Can-Am Indoor Football League is an indoor American football league that launched in 2017. Its teams are based primarily in the Northeastern United States, with one team in Southern Ontario, Canada.

The league's lone 2017 season has experienced wide inconsistency. The Buffalo Blitz and Ontario-Niagara Spartans were both run by owners of established semi-professional teams (the Buffalo Gladiators and Steel City Patriots, respectively) and, along with the Rochester Kings and Vermont Bucks (whose owner, Tim Viens, serves as league president), played more or less full schedules. The rest of the league's teams had limited schedules of four games or less, mostly limited to road games. The league was also noted to have multiple teams under the same ownership group; the Blitz also owned the Niagara Falls Thunder, and the Bucks also owned the Boston Blaze.

For the 2018 season, the league is slated to merge with Arena Pro Football to form the American Arena League (AAL).

The Rochester Kings finished their season undefeated with the Vermont Bucks and Boston Blaze each losing one game (Vermont lost to Boston, and Boston to Rochester). The Kings announced they are to host the Buffalo Blitz in the Western Division championship on June 3. The Bucks were to host the Boston Blaze in the Eastern Division championship. However, the Bucks later announced they were facing the independent and semi-professional Central Penn Chargers in their postseason game and the Chargers announced they would be joining the AAL in 2018.
