Saskatoon Sirens The Saskatoon Sirens are an expansion team in the Lingerie Football League set to begin play in the 2012 - 13 season . Based in Saskatoon , Saskatchewan , the Sirens will play their home games at the Credit Union Centre . The Sirens are one of four teams in the LFL Canada league , after the Toronto Triumph ( which played in the main LFL for the 2011 - 12 season ) , BC Angels , and their in - province rivals the Regina Rage . Because Saskatoon lacks a professional football team of its own , the Sirens ' colours are based on those of the Saskatoon Blades , the local team in the Western Hockey League . The Saskatoon Sirens entered the season ranked # 4 and expected to finish last in the league . The team met with underdog rankings and much scrutiny from the league all year long despite finishing first in the league with a 3 - 1 record and being the only team to beat every other team in season play . The Saskatoon Sirens appeared in the first ever LFL Canada Championship bowl , eventually losing the game 25 - 12 in a very tight , hard fought game . Two mistakes and a couple of objectionable calls were costly to Saskatoon and were capitalized on by the BC Angels . The 2013 LFL Canada season has been postponed until 2014 due to player disputes , League office scheduling and general preparation . Whether the league will be able to come back from hiatus is questionable at this time . The league has been accused of fining players for wearing too many clothes , as well as not paying medical bills for injured players . [ 57 ] The league prohibits players from commenting on personnel matters , a rule that prompted the vast majority of the Toronto Triumph , including team captain Krista Ford , to quit in protest in October 2011 . [ 58 ] Originally a professional league with players receiving a cut of net revenue , Mortaza stopped paying his players beginning in the 2011 season and converted the league into an amateur organization ; players must also pay for their own health insurance .
