[1] On June 13, 2006, a string of bean balls in the first two innings touched off two major brawls between the Cracker-Cats and their provincial rivals, the Calgary Vipers.

The resulting melee was so violent that the umpires sent both teams off the field, and suspended the game for over an hour to consult with league officials.

When the Cracker-Cats refused to return to the field afterward, the game was declared a forfeit and the Vipers were awarded a 9–0 victory even though Edmonton was leading 1–0.

Al Coates, a sports broadcaster, was named general manager of the Edmonton Cracker-Cats for the 2007 season,[4] and despite adding three former Major Leaguers, Ryan Radmanovich, Mike Johnson, and Lou Pote, the 'Cats finished 38–58 and last in the league.

They faced the Vipers, who won the first half, in the first-ever North Division Championship Series, but were swept by Calgary 3 games to 0.

On February 21, 2012, the Katz group announced that the Edmonton Capitals had withdrawn from the North American League, citing that only four teams had registered for the 2012 season.
