The Lions held their final full practice Thursday evening before flying to Calgary on Friday for their first preseason game. A rookie-dominated travelling roster and depth chart is expected to be released in the morning. Terry Williams was still at boundary WR in place of Alex Hollins Thursday. Andr...

After clear skies and 30-degree-plus temperatures greeted players on the opening weekend of camp, the weather has been unseasonably cool and damp by Kamloops standards, but it rained only briefly during one practice before the sun reappeared. I attended Lions' camps at UBC, Langley, Chilliwack and ...

And oh yes the weather! Kamloops likely presents the best weather for any CFL camp in terms of temperature and lack of precipitation. However for the 5 days I was in Kamloops this year it was quite a bit cooler than recent years. Mostly it was in the mid teens and windy whereas it was often in the ...

B.C. Fan, I continue to be amazed at the detail of your reporting. How do you do it? Do you talk into a recorder as you see stuff, or film it on a phone, or do you write things down? Doing the latter would cause you to miss stuff, me thinks. Haha. After years of writing notes on paper during practi...

The Lions held a three-hour double practice Wednesday evening as they continue to prepare for their first preseason game Saturday afternoon in Calgary. Centre Michael Couture took the day off and was in street clothes for the second time this week. Andrew Peirson and Tyler Packer shared first-team r...

The Lions have released rookie DB Duke Dawson.
Rookie DL Sam Burton from Marshall has changed numbers to 90 from 78.

With high school track meets under way at Hillside Stadium, the Lions held the first of three straight evening practices on a chilly Tuesday that started with a bit of rain and ended with a rainbow. Alex Hollins was limited, with Terry Williams stepping into his spot on the first-team offence and ca...

B.C. secondary will be one of the best in the league. Peters, Sayles, Evans will literally be hard to beat with good options for the other two spots. They won't need to go National but maybe can if Bagayogo can win the corner job. Kent sounds like a solid player that will stick as well. For the O, ...

The Kamloops sun was shining Monday morning as the second week of training camp got fully under way with a double practice in advance of the Lions' first preseason game Saturday afternoon in Calgary. The intensity really ramped up when the pads came on for the second half of practice. Prized free-ag...

The way I see it, in the event of an injury to McInnes or Cottoy, the Leos could go with an American there rather than trying to scramble to find another National off the scrap heap. This is how I could see us starting the season with Nationals: 3 oline: Knevel, Couture, Chungh 2 receivers: Cottoy,...

Some scrimmage highlights posted by the Lions social media team:

The Lions din’t need another receiver. They may lack experience but they have as much depth as I’ve ever seen. Rookies are making plays all over the field.

The Lions debuted a new-look FanFest featuring three separate events on Saturday, Play with the Pros for kids in the morning, a scrimmage at Hillside Stadium in the afternoon and a downtown block party with food, games, vendor booths, entertainment and player autographs in the evening. Previously al...

Terrell was brought in after another RB who was supposed to be Stanback’s roommate unexpectedly left town during mini-camp. Mizzell is still clearly number 2 but the four RBs in camp all bring different qualities. Stanback, the heaviest at 233 lbs., is a versatile mix of power and speed, Mizzell is ...

Suprised to read Cottoy seeing few balls thrown his way on a daily basis. Wonder why VA's and others reads are ignoring him so much?They are certainly paying him to have an even bigger role this coming season. This is not unusual for training camp and the early season. The Lions, so far at least, s...
