The 2024 CJFL season was a record breaking one with so many outstanding individual and team performances culminated with the St. Clair Saints hosting the 116th Canadian Bowl for the first time in 25 years.
In addition to team successes, there were plenty of individual players who had excellent campaigns. Some were rewarded for their efforts at the CJFL Celebration of Excellence, including Outstanding Offensive Player of the Year Elelyon Noa and Outstanding Defensive Player of the Year Stephen Smith.
Other than the award winners, there were so many other players across the board, like receivers, defenders, kickers, and more, that had eye-popping seasons as well.
