Notes: The team's most successful season. Two of their losses were blowouts to the other Ottawa teams (the Jr. Riders and Sooners) and the other was to the Laval Devils. They would get revenge on the Devils in the playoffs by defeating them 7-0. The Jr. Riders would end the Panthers' season the following weekend 30-00.
2005: 4-4 (1-1), Head Coach- Barry Gregory
Notes: The team earned its first victory in the opening game of the season, defeating the Valleyfield Phalanges 21-16. They would upset the Ottawa Sooners in Week 2 by a score of 17-15 then win their third straight against the South Shore Monarx 15-14. They could not maintain that momentum, however, winning only one game the rest of the regular season...The Panthers defeated the Monarx a second time in their first playoff game by a score of 8-7 (see below) but were beaten by the Chateauguay Raiders 43-14 in the semi-finals...Running back John Adeyfa was named rookie of the year.
Notes: A receiver named Eric Lefebvre, referred to as "Ricky" on the stats sheet, was named to the all-star team as receiver (on the strength of 18 receptions for 412 yards and 1 TD). He was also named to the all-star team as a punter.
Senior Varsity
The Cumberland Panthers entered a club in the varsity level in 2002 and while they have not been quite as consistent as their crosstown rival Myers Riders, they reached the championship game in 2010. Games between the Panthers and Riders were often hard-fought contests and among the most entertaining of the local football season.
In 2021, the club announced it would field teams in the Ontario Summer Football League for 2022 at the Bantam, Junior Varsity and Senior Varsity (U18) levels.
