Synopsis
Because of World War II, the IRFU / Big Four suspended play as did the WIFU (West). A couple of military teams based in Toronto, the RCAF Hurricanes and the Navey Bulldogs joined the regular ORFU teams like Balmy Beach and the Toronto Indians. The Ottawa Rough Riders continued operation, but as part of the an Ottawa based league.
Out West, a three team Winnipeg city was fromed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the University of Manitoba Bisons and a military team called the RCAF Fliers. The Bombers won the league and the playoff with the RCAF Fliers. The team that then played in the West final was called the Winnipeg RCAF Bombers, and was an all-star team composed of players from all three Manitoba teams, but mainly from the Bombers. The Winnipeg RCAF Bombers defeated a Reginal Navy team nthe West final. The Regina team was not officially called the Roughriders, but it had a core of former Roughrider players such as Sully Glasser and Dean Griffing.
