PIT TOUCH and FLAG FOOTBALL in WINNIPEG MANITOBA - FOOTBALL!

Our fourth inductee to the Manitoba Touch Football Hall of Fame are the Combines. The Combines were elected by the Hall of Fame committee in the Team category. To be considered for selection in the Team Hall of Fame, a team must have won at minimum five Touch Football championships. Those five championships may come from any division and include championships from both indoor and outdoor seasons. Teams may also be considered if they have played a minimum of ten years of football (both inside and outside of the PIT) and have reached a level of success (as measured by sportsmanship, productivity, and perseverance) in lieu of five championship trophies. In some cases longstanding teams may change names over the course of their history, thus teams must demonstrate that the majority of players have successfully transitioned from one team to the next to be deemed eligible.

Congratulations to the Combines who were truly the Touch Football OGs of Manitoba!

🔥 Won the first ever 7v7 Championship in Manitoba in 1977
