1919 Dominion of Canada Football Championship
After a three-year hiatus, the Connaught Series resumed in 1919 with the familiar four-team format. This time, Montréal Grand Trunk FC were both the hosts and winners of the Dominion of Canada Football Championship.
After eliminating Toronto Old Country in a home-and-away series in the Semifinals, Montréal won the Canadian Final 3-1 over the visiting Winnipeg War Veterans.
As noted in the Montréal Gazette, “there was some inspiration in the big crowd. It seemed that as many as four of every five men of military age wore the disharged soldier’s button.
“The big crowd overflowed the field and sat and stood several rows deep along the line back of the eastern goal and along the south side of the field, but the gathering was well behaved and orderly, leaving little to do for the few policemen
inside the grounds.”
