The official page for information regarding the St James Rods' Football Club. The Rods are the longest continuously operated minor football club in Canada.
We began in 1946 as the Fort Rouge Rods and are now in our eighth decade of operation. The club was named after the common 1940's nickname for a young man - a "rodney". The first Manitoba team to win a Canadian Junior Football Championship were the 1955 Rods and they are enshrined in the Manitoba Sport Hall of Fame.
