Five former NB Vikings make Hilltops opening day roster
The Saskatoon Hilltops enter the 2017 Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) season in pursuit of history.
The club is currently the three-time defending national champions, which they’ve actually accomplished on three separate occasions since 2001 (2001-03, 2010-12, 2014-16).
But no CJFL team has won four straight nationals titles unless you count when the Hamilton Wildcats and Tigers merged in 1950 following two championship wins before tallying two more.
Five graduates of the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings football program will be chasing that piece of history this fall as members of the Hilltops.
