To All Grizzlie Members.

2010 - NEW SEASON - NEW FORMAT
 
We're on a new path at the football club but still at the same familiar place at the corner of Bathurst and Finch football field. Rumours from as far back as 1999 about dropping the weight class restriction in our league have finally come to fruition. North York fought the decision for a long time but eventually were outnumbered as change has come about fast within the entire league.  The mandate actually came down from the top- Football Canada. So we're ready to make the best of the decision and hope that in 2010 we will still have a full house with kids that want to play football.
 
Add to that the second change they have implemented upon us. The name changes for the age groups. This was initiated in order to match the other leagues across Canada. 

And of course we're another step forward at working alongside with the Metro Toronto Wildcats as our "Brother" club and the obvious next choice for our graduating Grizzlies. We will be known as the Metro Toronto Grizzlies under the North York Minor Football Association.
 
In 2009 we had our usual ups and downs and of course the City strike provided us with new challenges to overcome and we learned how to maneuver around them.  All in all it was a very positive year. We ended on a high note as we were selected to host the COMFL championship game weekend at our home field and it was topped off by having our TYKE and PEEWEE teams move on to participate in the AA championship finals. Both teams played exceptional and we couldn't have asked for a better showing of some raw talent.
 
We're on our way to a New beginning at North York and look foward to another exciting season.
