Toronto Parkdale was an amateur Canadian football and hockey club based in the Parkdale neighbourhood in the west end of Toronto. As a branch of the Parkdale Canoe Club established in August 1905,[1] the club's hockey and football teams were nicknamed the Paddlers.[2][3] They were also known colloquially as the West Enders, and as the Green and White, after the team colours.[3]
The Paddlers' senior football team lost to the University of Toronto Varsity Blues in the first Grey Cup game in 1909.[4] The senior hockey team had Billy Burch on their roster in the 1919–20 season.[5]
