Regina Thunder Football Club

The Regina Rams were formed in 1954 when two junior football teams, the Bombers and the Dales, merged into one football club. The Rams participated in the Man-Sask Junior Football League until 1976, when they joined with junior teams from Alberta to form the Prairie Football Conference. The club would participate in the CJFL until 1998, winning ten Canadian Junior Football Championships along the way.

In 1999, after competing for 45 years in junior football, the Regina Rams became a member of the Canada West Conference of the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CIAU), later Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) and now U Sports.

After the departure of the Rams from the CJFL in 1999, the community formed a new organization called the Prairie Thunder to replace the vacant spot left in the Prairie Football Conference.

Eventually renamed the Regina Thunder, we are a not-for-profit, 100% volunteer run organization based out of our clubhouse in Mount Pleasant Park in Regina, Saskatchewan. The Thunder are a part of the Prairie Football Conference (PFC), which is a six-member conference with teams from all three prairie provinces (Edmonton Huskies, Edmonton Wildcats, Calgary Colts, Saskatoon Hilltops and the Winnipeg Rifles). The PFC is a member of the Canadian Junior Football League, and participates in national championships with two other conferences, based out of Ontario (Ontario Football Conference) and British Columbia (BC Football Conference).

Each year the Thunder compete with their provincial rivals, the Saskatoon Hilltops for the Shrine Bowl. The Shrine Bowl is awarded to the team who has the highest total points in the two regular season games between each other.

Under the direction of rookie Head Coach Scott MacAulay (former player), 2013 was a major milestone for the Thunder as they defeated the three time defending CJFL champions Saskatoon Hilltops in the PFC Final 21-16 in Saskatoon. They would go on to defeat the V.I. Raiders in the CJFL championship 55-26 in Regina, capturing their first national title.
