The
CFL
granted a conditional expansion team to the city of
Halifax
, the team was named the
Atlantic Schooners
. The franchise were supposed to begin play in 1984. However, before the season started, ownership could not secure and provide the financing for a new stadium. Without a stadium in place, the Schooners folded without playing a single game in the CFL.
Calgary
native
Douglas H. Mitchell, Q.C.
became the sixth
CFL Commissioner
in history on Friday, June 1, succeeding
Jake Gaudaur
who had served in that position since 1968.
In the fall, the CFL conducted a market research study with the fans in CFL cities.
The CFL, eliminated territorial exemptions, which allowed the 1985
Canadian College Draft
to be more open ? allowing teams to draft players from different regions.
The regular season started in June for the first time in league history, while
Edmonton
hosted its first
Grey Cup
championship game.
