SAMFA Storm is a throwback to the city of St. Albert's original High School Football program that was created in 1986 by Larry Olexiuk & Bob Braymen. With the success and growth of this program 4 new High school teams took shape, Paul Kane Blues, Bellerose Bulldogs, SACHS Skyhawks & the Sturgeon Spirits, not to mention a lineage of coaches and players that are still involved today. 

 

SAMFA Storm Football is a 12-a side football program in a 8-team league that runs from late February thru to early May, when high school spring camps begin. SAMFA Storm is a competitive team that focuses on development.  First-time players regardless of grade have an opportunity to get valuable experience prior to their High School spring camps and fall season. For grade 9s, it is a great way for players to prepare for the adjustments that come from transitioning from minor football to high school football. For all players, it is a great opportunity to hone your football skills, prepare for your High School season and football career post High School.  The Storm have assembled a high level coaching staff including several coaches with CFL, U Sports and Junior coaching and playing experience.
