Quebec Saints
The Québec Saints () is an Australian rules football club based in Montréal, Quebec, Canada. History The Québec Saints were founded by Luke Anderson in early 2008. The team joined the Toronto-based Ontario Australian Football League's 'Rec Footy' program the same year competing against the Central Blues and Broadview Hawks reserve squads. In late 2008 the Québec Saints divided their squad into two 9-a-side 'Metro' teams (the Montréal Saints, Laval Bombers and later in 2009 a third team the Pointe Claire Power) forming the basis of what is now known as AFL Quebec (prior to 2012 known as the Eastern Canadian Australian Football League or ECAFL). The Québec Saints now act as the representative team of AFL Québec. In 2009 the OAFL relaunched 'Rec' Footy as OAFL Division 2.
