SOUND OFF: How do you feel about the Lingerie Football League coming to Regina?
Regina has been awarded a team in the Lingerie Football League on Wednesday.
Details of the team name have not been released but the team will play its first game at the Brandt Center on September 29th.
“It seems like a good fit for the community, there is nothing like this here right now and we are looking to provide different entertainment to the market,” Neil Donnelly vice-president of events and entertainment for the Brandt Centre said.
“It’s the intersection of entertainment and sports,” LFL Commissioner Mitchell Mortaza mentions. “It’s become the fastest growing woman’s sports league in the states in three years.”
In the inaugural season the teams will play 4 games with two games at home and two games on the road.
This is the third LFL team awarded in Canada with Toronto and Abbotsford already having franchises set up ready to go and the league hopes to have 6 teams set to play this fall.
“We are going to be placing another team in the province which will serve as an incredible rivalry,” Mortaza added.
The LFL is a seven on seven tackle football league for woman with the girls wearing a hockey helmet, mouth guard, elbow pads, shoulder pads, knee pads, garters, bras and panties.
The Regina team’s final home game will be on October 20th.
