Twitter Canada and the @CFL have been longtime partners and hosting the introduction of Commissioner Ambrosie is the latest chapter in our shared history.

Past partnerships between Twitter Canada and the @CFL include:

  • Fan-fueled Tweet-Up events where @CFL fans on Twitter come together in real-life to interactive, engage and share in the @CFL spirit
  • The Twitter-powered #GreyCup sign that lights up whenever a specified hashtag is used. The sign debuted at the 2015 #GreyCup in Winnipeg and is slated to be part of the festivities this November in Ottawa.
  • The first-ever emoji for a Canadian professional sports league, activated each fall when football fans Tweet #GreyCup or #CoupeGrey
  • The Canadian sports debut of Periscope live-streaming video on Twitter, featured in the Spring of 2015 during the @CFL training combines.

For more top-tier Canadian football content on Twitter, make sure to follow both the @CFL and @TwitterSportsCA all year long and keep an eye on the #GreyCup hashtag this fall for the best highlights, team content and fan reactions on the road to the Cup.
