1972 Schedule

The 1972 NAAF season will kick off on June 22 as the defending McCallister Cup champs, the Louisville Thunder, are hosting last year’s Central Division champs, the Pittsburgh Blacksmiths. The holidays roll in for Week 2. With Canada Day on Saturday, there is a triple header, starting with Montreal @ London at 1:00 PM ET, then Winnipeg @ Ottawa at 5:00 PM ET, followed by Toronto @ Vancouver at 8:30 PM ET. On Tuesday, Boston will then host Indiana for the 4th of July. Week 6 remains rivalry week. Then teams will head on their bye week between weeks 8-10, starting with the West in Week 8, East in Week 9, and Central in Week 10. The Labour Day tradition will continue for both Louisville and Indiana as well as the two Alberta teams of Edmonton and Calgary. Finally, the season is set to end with a battle between Providence and Ottawa, but that matchup is subject to change if the league feels a different match is better for the later slot.
