The Montreal Blitz is a women's gridiron football team, founded in 2001, which plays Canadian football in the Central Canadian Women's Football League. Previously, the team played American football in the Independent Women's Football League (2001–2016) and in the Women's Football Alliance (in 2017).[1] They are based at Dalbé-Viau High School in the borough of Lachine, in Montreal, Quebec.
The Blitz were the only Canadian team in a women's American football league.[1] The team won four championships in the IWFL, at various levels. Their highest achievement came in 2012, when they beat the Sacramento Sirens 28–27 to become World Champions of the IWFL.[2][3][4]
