History

The Kaisut Highway League was founded in 1993 by a group of football enthusiasts in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut. The league was originally called the Kivalliq Football League, but it was renamed the Kaisut Highway League in 2001.

The Kaisut Highway League has grown steadily since its inception. In the early years, the league only had 4 teams, but it has since expanded to 6 teams. The league has also become more competitive, with the championship game often being decided by a narrow margin.
