Based in Calgary, Alberta, the Fillies were to play their home games at the Stampede Corral.

The Legends Football League (LFL) announced on June 27, 2013, that an expansion franchise was granted to Calgary,[1] following a failed effort in 2012 due to a failed lease negotiation with ScotiaBank Saddledome.

The original head coach for the Fillies was Jarrod Neufeld and the team manager was Daniel Reaume.

The US competitors assigned to the Fillies were Angela Rypien[3] of the Baltimore Charm, Tamar Fennell, and Theresa Petruziello of the Cleveland Crush.

There were safety concerns as equipment was supposedly received only two weeks before their planned September debut.
