FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (May 1, 2008) – The Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) this week announced Baden’s F7000L Perfection™ leather football as their Official Game Ball for the next 5 years. The two organizations will partner together to provide all teams in the league with Baden footballs to use exclusively during all camps, clinics, practices, regular season and playoff games. “We are excited to partner with such a dynamic and competitive league,” says Hugh Millen, Baden’s Football Category Manager. “As a prestigious league in Canada, the CJFL is a great showcase for our ball.”
CJFL Commissioner Ron Osterkamph states, “Our league is proud to partner with a company like Baden who makes a consistent effort to bring technology and real improvements to sporting goods. Ultimately this improves the game itself. With Hugh as an ex-NFL quarterback, Baden completely redesigned the football for optimum playability. It is great for our league and our players to use the Baden football.”
The CJFL provides the opportunity for young men aged 17 – 22 from all walks of life to participate in a highly competitive post secondary football league that is unique in Canada. The goals of the league are to foster community involvement, create a positive environment for players to participate and develop their skills, encourage/promote educational pursuits and to mentor our players’ life skills for the future.
