Montreal Dragons

The Montreal Dragons are a professional American football team based in Montreal. The Dragons compete in the Casual World Simulation Football League (CWSFL) as a member club of the league's Western Division. The team reached Gold Bowl IV in their inaugural season, but lost decisively to then Frankfurt Lions (now Bangkok Lions). The Dragons do not currently have any retired jersey numbers or Hall of Fame enshrinees. The franchise was founded as part of the CWSFL’s Season 4 expansion. The team has played at The Cave (previously Tim Hortons Stadium) in Quartier des Spectacles, Montreal throughout its membership in the CWSFL. The Dragons main rivalry is with The Minnesota Polar Bears, and hold a lesser rivalry with The Bangkok Pandas after Gold Bowl IV.

2025–present
The Montreal Dragons were created and announced as part of the 2025 World Football League preseason. The league approached the Minnesota Polar Bears' running back, Micah Pope, for an ownership opportunity within the league. Pope accepted the offer and created the Montreal Dragons based on a team he had once managed. His general manager, Patrick Montroy, was drafted first overall in the expansion draft from The Lancers by a suggestion from an unnamed source.

As the lone acting general manager, Pope selected defensive lineman Daquavion Kills at 7th overall, tight end Rob Gronkowski at 15th overall, placekicker Lil Table at 23rd overall, quarterback Jaquan Freesmith at 31st overall, and quarterback Big Dog at 34th overall. After this draft, Montroy began his management position with the team and made significant changes to the roster. Montroy contributed significantly to building the team through a now-banned tactic that was nicknamed "The Montroy Special". The league would respond to this tactic with "The Montroy Rule" – which clarified that waiver players would be processed as such.

The 2025 Montreal Dragons had a winning season with a 6–4 record. Due to the strength of their record, they went on to beat out the Vancouver Lancers for the fourth seed and made it to the playoffs. Significantly, the team lost in all games against The Minnesota Polar Bears to end the season with a record of 0–3 against their rival. In the playoffs, the team managed to achieve one of the largest comebacks in league history to continue to Gold Bowl IV. The team would subsequently lose in the most one-sided Gold Bowl in league history. Jaquan Freesmith would go on to win the Most Valuable Player Award, Offensive Player of the Year Ward, and the inaugural Montreal Dragon's Team MVP award. 2025 was largely defined by three events. In the first loss of the season, team owner, Micah Pope remarked that he "should have stayed in Minnesota for real" to Bears general manager, Wilo. This created a rift between him and the rest of the team. General manager, Montroy, was especially affected by this exchange, and would frequently bring it up throughout the season. Later on, he delivered a speech on the playoff stream at halftime stating that the team "deserved to lose" before excusing himself to use the restroom. Upon returning, the team was in the lead against the Egyptian Pharaohs. In Gold Bowl IV, the team lost by the largest margin of any championship game to this point. This defeat significantly impacted management's morale and led to the team shifting their offseason strategy around Montroy continuing to handle day-to-day operations.

During the 2026 season, the team added Mason Lunarch as a co-gm immediately after drafting them at 2nd overall. Lunarch quickly proved to be a moderating force in the front office, convincing Montroy not to make a high-risk trade after the draft while convincing Pope to allow for a change in uniforms. Lunarch would also significantly develop the team's art and writing department in conjunction with Montroy, thanks in part to their position as the league's graphics director and owner of The Midnight Wire.
