Edmonton Elks Tickets

The Edmonton Elks compete in the West Division of the Canadian Football League. The Edmonton Elks have earned the right to be mentioned with the top franchises in CFL history with 14 league championships. The only team with more championships than the Edmonton Elks is the Toronto Argonauts. The Argonauts lead all teams in the CFL with 17 championships. The 35 consecutive trips to the playoffs made by the Edmonton Elks stands as the longest streak of its kind for professional team sports in North America. Another feat that sets the team apart from the rest of the CFL is the unprecedented streak of five consecutive Grey Cup championships it won from 1978 to 1982. The Edmonton Elks are one of three community-owned franchises in the CFL, and the rabid fan support the team receives reflects this fact. The Edmonton Elks are preparing for a new season and the chance to bring a 15th championship to Edmonton. You can find Edmonton Elks tickets at StubHub.

He also set playoff records against the Montreal Alouettes with 22 consecutive pass completions and a 92.3 completion percentage. The team guaranteed they will see a lot more of Trevor Harris when he was offered a three-year contract extension that will keep him in Edmonton through 2022.
