The #CFL's American expansion started thanks to the World League of American Football (#WLAF) - which had 10 teams in US/Canada/Europe from 1991-2. The #SacramentoSurge won #WorldBowl II - only to have the league suspend operations from 1993-4 and return as Europe-only in 1995.

In 1993 the Surge owner, front office, & several players morphed into the #SacramentoGoldMiners to become 1st #CFL team in United States.
