Canadian Football League West Division.... The West Division is one of the two regional divisions of the Canadian Football League. Although the CLF was not founded until 1958, the West Division and its clubs are descended from earlier leagues.... Pre-1936. The first organized football club in Western Canada was the Winnipeg Rugby Football Club, later the Winnipeg Football Club, a forerunner of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers which as founded in 1879.... The three provincial unions then in existence soon set out to create a unified Western Canadian competition, with the view that the Western champion should be able to challenge for the Canadian Rugby Union's new championship trophy, the Grey Cup. To this end, the Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta unions formed the Western Canada Rugby Football Union [WCRFU] in 1911.... In 1936, the Western Interprovincial Football Union [WIFU] was formed, succeeding the WCRFU as the West's premier football competition.... The WIFU was re-named the Western Football Conference [WFC] in 1961 and agreed to a partial interlocking schedule with what was by then known as the Eastern Football Conference the same year.... West Division(1980-1994, 1996-present) In 1980, the CFL' s two conferences agreed to a full merger and a full interlocking schedule. 2, record 3, English, - Western%20Football%20Conference
