North American Indoor Football League (2005)

The North American Indoor Football League was a proposed indoor football league that announced plans in 2004 to begin play in fourteen Canadian cities beginning in February 2005. The game played was to be a unique indoor version of Canadian football. Teams were to be centrally owned, and former Edmonton Eskimos quarterback Tom Wilkinson was to serve as league president. The league never played a single game and its website went offline in early 2006.

The 14 teams announced were:

East Division

Fredericton Feud
Halifax Havoc
Montreal Machete
Ottawa Omega
Quebec Quantum
St. John's Storm
Toronto Terror

West Division

Calgary Crusade
Edmonton Extreme
Regina Rage
