Montreal Blitz
The Blitz were created in 2001. In 2004 Quarterback Saadia Ashraf bought the team from the original owners. The team won four championships in the IWFL between 2008 and 2013, including the Tier I title in 2012. In 2015, the management of the team was transferred from Saadia Ashraf to "Football Féminin Blitz de Montréal", a non-profit created to run the team. They played in the IWFL until 2016, when they decided to leave the league due to financial and travel constraints, and joined the WFA. However, the Blitz resigned from the WFA after only one season (2017), because the league refused to allow any more games to be played in Canada. In 2021, the Blitz was a founder member of the CCWFL, which began play in the 2022 season.
