Football Conference, which itself is part of the Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) and competes annually for the national title known as the Canadian Bowl. The Sun were founded in 1980, began play in 1981, and are one of the most successful teams in junior football history. They have had 25 consecutive winning seasons (1982 through 2006), were the BCFC champions 14 times, and won the Canadian Bowl twice as CJFL champions in 1988 and 2000.
Famous quotes containing the word sun:
“When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
