History

Founded in 1970 as the Kanata March Hares, the Club fielded a team at the Peewee level. Since that time, the football club has undergone numerous changes and achieved enormous success. In 1993 the Kanata Knights name was adopted and the modern football age in Kanata took to the gridiron. In 1991 the Cheerleading program was founded at both Junior and Senior levels. In 1994 the Kanata Knights Tyke Team was established, followed by Girls Flag in the 2000’s.
