Ottawa JR Riders
Our team began operations in 1995 as the Gloucester Redskins, and operated as such until the conclusion of the 1996 QJFL season. With the folding of the CFL’s Ottawa Roughriders, we changed the name from the Gloucester Redskins to the current Ottawa Junior Riders and changed our colorus from burgundy, yellow and white, to the red, black and white.
In 2001 the Junior Riders began playing in the Ontario Football Conference of the Canadian Junior Football League. The Ottawa Junior Riders played in the CJFL until the end of the 2005 season, when we returned to the QJFL.
In the last 10 years of being in the QJFL Your Ottawa JR Riders have won 8 QJFL Championships(1998, 1999, 2000, 2006, 2007, 2008,2010 and 2018)
The Ottawa JR Riders are proud to donate all the proceedings from the 50/50 draws to the Heart Institute. The 50/50 tickets are sold at every Ottawa JR Riders home game and if the total of the 50/50 does not exceed at least $1000 the Ottawa JR Riders will add the difference.
