  • La Machine de Montréal était la seule équipe canadienne dans la World League of American Football, une ligue créée par la Ligue nationale de football afin de développer le football américain en dehors du sol américain. Cette équipe fut en activité pendant les saisons 1991 et 1992, évoluant dans la division Nord-américaine Est, où elle se classa chaque fois en troisième position sur quatre équipes, manquant chaque fois les playoffs. Après avoir affiché un bilan de 4 victoires et 6 défaites lors de leur première saison, l'équipe montréalaise ne remporte que deux de ses dix matchs en 1992. L'entraîneur de la Machine était Jacques Dussault. La Machine de Montréal s'est éteinte en même temps que la World League of American Football qui renaît en 1995 sous le nom NFL Europa, mais sans les sept clubs nord-américains qui la composaient.

  • The Montreal Machine were the sole Canadian team in the World League of American Football (WLAF), a springtime developmental professional league set up by the National Football League (NFL) that played in 1991 and 1992. There were also three European teams and six North America-based teams. Like all WLAF teams, the Machine played American rules football, 11 players per side on a 120-yard field, rather than Canadian rules football of 12 players per side on 150-yard field. The Machine filled a void created by the folding of the Canadian Football League's Montreal Alouettes in 1987. It was the first American football team in Canada since the Montreal Beavers, Toronto Rifles and Victoria Steelers, which all played in the Continental Football League in 1967. The NFL had also played two international preseason games in Montreal in 1988 and 1990 during the Alouettes' absence. After two years, the Machine, and the entire WLAF, were put on "hiatus" by the NFL. In 1995, the three European-based franchises (and three more) were reconstituted as the World League (later known as NFL Europe); the North American teams were folded. The Machine played their home games at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, which also hosted what would be the WLAF's last game in its original incarnation, World Bowl '92. A crowd of 43,789 watched the Sacramento Surge defeat the Orlando Thunder, 21-17. The Machine's average game attendance was 31,888 in their first year of play, well above the league average and above expectations. It dropped to 25,254 in their second (and final) year, still in line with league average. The end of the WLAF's North American operations was soon followed by the CFL commencing its own U.S. expansion experiment, which lasted for three seasons. The subsequent demise of the CFL's U.S. teams coincided with pro football's return to Montreal in 1996 when the third and current incarnation of the Montreal Alouettes commenced play. The Alouettes had been revived by the owners of the Baltimore Stallions, the most successful of the CFL's American franchises, who upon shuttering their U.S.-based team relocated their football organization to Montreal.

  • De Montreal Machine (of simpelweg de Machine) is een voormalig professioneel American footballteam uit Montreal, Canada. De Machine behoorde tot de 10 teams die speelden in de voormalige World League of American Football (WLAF), een semiprofessionele competitie met teams uit de Verenigde Staten, Canada en Europa. Het team kwam uit in de Noord-Amerika Oost-divisie. Het team werd in 1991 opgericht en was het enige team uit Canada, dat meespeelde in de WLAF. In 1992 werd Montreal Machine alweer opgeheven door een laag animo van de WLAF investeerders. Het team kwam nooit verder dan de 3e plaats in de Noord-Amerika Oost divisie. (nl)
