Background

The Victoria Steelers were a British Columbia-based minor league football team active during the late 1960’s. The club started out as a semi-pro outfit in the Pacific Football League in 1966. At the end of 1966 , the Continental Football League launched a West Coast expansion and the Steelers stepped up to fully professional status.

As befit its name, the CoFL was a nationwide (plus Canada) league. But the Steelers played exclusively against Pacific Division opponents in Eugene (OR), Orange County (CA), Sacramento, San Jose and Seattle in order to keep travel costs down.

The Steelers lasted only one season at the pro level, posting a 4-8 record. The club relocated to Spokane, Washington following the 1967 campaign.
