Undefeated Regina Thunder lead CJFL All-Canadian selections

Wanda Harron Photography

The Canadian Junior Football League has unveiled their 2026 All-Canadian teams.

The Regina Thunder, champions of the Prairie Football Conference, led the country with six first-team selections, plus another two on the second team. Headlining those honoured was running back Peter Boersch, who won the PFC rushing title with 1221 yards and five touchdowns on 162 carries across just seven games.

By contrast, the Westshore Rebels, champions of the British Columbia Football Conference and the hosts of Sunday’s Canadian Bowl, had just one player honoured on the first team. Receiver Zion Brown led the nation with 908 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 47 receptions. He was joined by two second-team honourees.

The Thunder and Rebels will meet in the Canadian Bowl on Sunday, November 8 at 1:00 p.m. PT at Starlight Stadium in Langford, B.C.
