How we got our name…

Our name emerged from two Ohio professional football teams: the Massillon Tigers and the Canton Bulldogs. The Massillon Tigers and Canton Bulldogs were among the first professional American football teams playing in the Ohio League from 1903 to 1919. The rivalry between the two cities galvanized fans, and as avid football enthusiasts, the name reflects our love of the competitive American sport

  • Rivaled the Canton Bulldogs and won five consecutive Ohio League championships from 1903 – 1907
