Please welcome the Niagara Spears to the NFC. The NFC is excited to bring another great organization and football team to challenge the NFC alumni.
At the Fall NFC meeting – the member clubs voted in the Niagra Spears organization for the 2019 NFC Season. The Spears are our newest expansion club. A solid football organization with a long history. They currently have a great youth program with the full complement of Bantam, Junior Varsity and Varsity teams. Now they are ready to play with the men.
As has been standard practice for a number of years. As a new member of the NFC – Niagara has a few conditions and restrictions on who they can register as a player for their first 3 seasons in NFC.
The Niagara Spears registration conditions/restrictions for their first 3 seasons in the NFC – 2019, 2020 and 2021 are as follows:
1 – Zero Players from Steel City Patriots and Oakville Longhorns – the Niagara Spears may not sign any player who was registered with either the Steel City Patriots or Oakville Longhorns in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 NFC Seasons.
2 – No more than 2 players from any other NFC team up to a maximum of 6 players per year.
*These registration conditions / restrictions are in effect for 2019, 2020 and 2021 NFC seasons. The purpose of this is to ensure that the Niagara Spears bring new players to the NFC.
*If a Player signed and played with SCP or OAK during the 2016, 2017 or 2018 NFC season- the Niagara Spears are unable to sign that player until 2022.
*To be clear – there is no waiting period. If the player’s name was on an SCP or OAK roster in 2016, 2017 or 2018 NFC season – Niagara cannot sign them until the 2022 NFC season.
*These conditions / restrictions apply to players only and not coaches, or other volunteers.
Please direct inquiries back to your member clubs or the NFC Executive for clarification.
