Seattle Mist, B.C. Angels to do cross-border battle in Lingerie Football League

It looked like lingerie football fans wouldn’t get a taste of their Seattle Mist this year — but, it turns out, the Mist will be playing in an upcoming “Border War” against one of the newest Lingerie Football League teams: the B.C. Angels

The inaugural 2012 Pacific Cup takes place Dec. 15 at the ShoWare Center in Kent. It will pit the Mist against the Angels for the first meeting of the future Cascadia rivals.

As we reported in February, the Lingerie Football League is expanding into Canada and Australia after several years of success. One of the new teams is located in Abbotsford, B.C., about 40 minutes east of downtown Vancouver in an area dubbed Canada’s “Bible belt.”

Meanwhile, the LFL’s United States season was delayed as the league decided to focus on expansion. Lingerie football is continuing uninterrupted in Canada, where the LFL has launched a new division.

“Our focus in 2012 has been to brand LFL Football beyond our U.S. borders,” Mitchell Mortaza, founder and chairman of the LFL, said in the league’s Pacific Cup announcement, “and the Pacific Cup will be a great annual rivalry game serving to engage not only our established Seattle Mist fan base but a growing B.C. Angels fan nation.”

The B.C. Angels are 1-1 this season in the LFL’s four-team Canada league. In their 2011 season, the Seattle Mist went 3-1 but missed the playoffs. The Los Angeles Temptation beat the Philadelphia Passion 28-6 in Lingerie Bowl IX on Feb. 5 in Las Vegas.

Tickets to the Pacific Cup, which the LFL has dubbed its first-ever “Border War,” will go on sale Sept. 24 at 10 a.m. More information is available on the LFL website.
