The Harlequins were first envisioned by brothers George and Vince Jones in 1950 when the
Toronto Star published a notice that British Rugby was going to become popular again. The brothers replied immediately and stated that the Brantford area may have enough players to be able to support a team. The Harlequins played their first game on September 30th, 1950 against the Toronto Nomads despite only having 4 players available.
