About the Blitz
Following 2008 Cascade Football League season , Whatcom County Raiders owner Tom Abbott, received a call from the Next Level Professional Football League. The Raiders a Minor league team located in Bellingham Washington, had made a name for themselves in just two season of play by becoming the first minor league team from Whatcom County to win a minor league championship. The Raiders had compiled an 18-2 record winning Back to Back Cascade Football League Championships (2007 & 2008) and a # 1 ranking by the MLFN ( for spring and summer league teams).
The Raiders traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada where on December 6, 2008 they captured the Far West Football Alliance West Coast Bowl Championship.
In the wake of Western Washington University canceling their football program, Tom Abbott recognized the tremendous void this left for many young men involved in the game of football. To help fill that void he joined the PDFL. Tom's purpose with the Raiders was to give young men and aspiring coaches the opportunity to pursue their football dreams. Joining the PDFL and creating the "Blitz" Franchise would create an even bigger platform and opportunity for players and coaches and support local Whatcom County businesses and the community as a whole.
The Blitz will bring a new level and quality of football to Whatcom County offering unlimited opportunities for young men and coaches using the great game of football as a platform.
