WelcomeOn behalf of the BC Lions Football Club, welcome to 2019 Training Camp.

Another exciting year of football is upon us as we hit the field for our 66th season in the Canadian Football League. In that time, the Lions have created a lifetime of memories for millions of fans throughout the province of British Columbia. The rigors and challenges of the regular season are less than a month away making training camp our most important period of preparation.

Staging training camp in the Tournament Capital for a 10th consecutive year, one of the longest stretches in our proud history, the scenic surroundings of Kamloops has grown to become our home away from home. Our time here is an unrivaled experience in our league as the backdrop of this beautiful city is surpassed only by its warm hospitality and outstanding facilities.

Under the watchful eyes of GM Ed Hervey and new head coach DeVone Claybrooks, this year’s training camp roster led by quarterback Mike Reilly is sure to produce some of the most heated battles for positions that the club has seen in recent years. Months of scouting, planning and preparation by our coaches and football operations staff are about to be unveiled in coming weeks and will undoubtedly yield a competitive, talented and exciting team for 2019.

From our first days in Kamloops, we have enjoyed the generous support of Sun Peaks Resort as our presenting partner. We are proud and excited to work with them again in 2019 as this iconic Kamloops company continues to build on its well-earned reputation as an innovative business leader with their support of unique and beneficial initiatives for their community.

In addition to providing one of the finest settings for events of this kind, Kamloops’ unique mix of superior facilities at Thompson Rivers University, the Tournament Capital Centre and Hillside Stadium combined with a long history of hosting major events continues to make training camp here a perfect fit for our organization.

We have a fun and exciting three weeks of football action in store for Lions fans in Kamloops which includes the ever-popular Fanfest presented by BCLC on Saturday, June 1st. Again this year, on-field festivities will take place in the evening giving everyone an opportunity to check out the team and we’ll wrap up the night with another amazing fireworks display.

In addition to Sun Peaks Resort, we are pleased to have the City of Kamloops, Tourism Kamloops, BCLC, BA Dawson Blacktop, Thompson Rivers University, Twisted Tea, RBC Dominion Securities, Tim Hortons, Shark Club and Harvest Meats as supporting partners of training camp this year.

Of the hundreds of players who have auditioned at numerous free agent camps this past spring, the moment has arrived for the best of the best to show their stuff in the hopes of joining our talented core of veterans and be part of British Columbia’s most successful professional sports organization.

Here’s to an outstanding camp and a season we can all be proud of in 2019.

DAVID BRALEYOwner, Governor

David began his business career with the General Motors Acceptance Corporation in Hamilton, before advancing on to London Life Insurance. In 1969, he acquired William Orlick Limited, which subsequently became Orlick Industries Limited, a leading auto parts manufacturer. He was also the founding chairman of Hamilton Entertainment and Convention Facilities Inc., which includes the Hamilton Convention Centre, Hamilton Place and Copps Coliseum.

David’s long history of success in business quickly translated to the gridiron as the Lions captured the Grey Cup in 2000, their first under his ownership. His dedication to the success and growth of the organization has paid off twice more in 2006 and 2011 as the club captured its fifth and sixth Grey Cup titles. Under his leadership, the Lions are considered one of British Columbia’s model corporate citizens, a team active in charitable and community programs focused on health and wellness, public education and the development of amateur football.

In May 2010, Prime Minister Stephen Harper appointed David to the Senate noting his involvement in sport and philanthropy as well as his commitment to both his community and country. He served his country as a Senate until November 2013, at which time he resigned to spend more time on his business endeavours.

The 2019 season marks David’s 23rd year as owner of the BC Lions Football Club after taking over the franchise in January 1997. In that time, David’s leadership has spearheaded the club’s growth into one of Canada’s most recognized and respected sports marketing brands.

A member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in the Builder category (2012), David has overseen a Lions brand which has experienced exceptional growth in the area of corporate partnerships since taking ownership of the team 23 years ago. Under his leadership, the Lions have hosted three of the most successful Grey Cup Festivals in the history of the CFL in 2005, 2011 and 2014.

Born in Montreal and growing up in Hamilton, David’s CFL roots date back to 1987 when he became the owner of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He has also served as chair of the CFL’s Board of Governors as well as the CFL’s interim commissioner from March 2002 to November 2002.

A leader among his peers on the Board of Governors, David’s efforts in recent years have spurred the unprecedented popularity of the league and have included his recent ownership of the Toronto Argonauts and stewardship of the franchise through to its sale to Bell Canada and Larry Tanenbaum’s Kilmer Group in 2015.

DREW TATE Quarterbacks Coach

Drew enters his first season with the BC Lions coaching staff and will tutor the club’s stable of quarterbacks following 12 seasons in the CFL with Saskatchewan, Calgary and Ottawa.

Drew’s venture north of the border to Saskatchewan in 2007 was preceded by a brief stint with the St. Louis Rams the same year. He spent two seasons on the Roughriders’ practice squad before ultimately moving to Calgary for much of his career.

Over the course of seven seasons with the Stampeders, he completed 380 passes for 4,670 yards and 35 touchdowns while dressing for 129 games. Used primarily as a short yardage specialist later in his career, Tate scored Calgary’s only touchdowns in their 2014 Grey Cup victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Drew spent 2017 with the Ottawa RedBlacks and then retired to join the coaching staff at Coastal Carolina. He returned to the CFL briefly with Saskatchewan in 2018 to close out his playing career.

A native of Baytown, Texas, Drew enjoyed a productive college career at the University of Iowa. Along with being named Big Ten Player of the Year and earning All Big Ten First Team Honours in 2004, Drew was MVP of the 2005 Capital One Bowl when the Hawkeyes took down LSU in a 30-25 thriller.

Frederic can always count on his family to support him from the stands, as he says they are his biggest fans. When he isn’t tackling ball carriers on the football field, you will find Frederic in the kitchen cooking up a storm. It makes sense then that King Motte grew up dreaming of opening his own steak house.

DAVID FOUCAULTOFFENSIVE LINEMAN / NATIONAL


2010-2013: David played four seasons with the Carabins and successfully made the switch from defensive line to the offensive side of the ball in 2011. The Quebec native’s draft stock rose quickly as the Carabins became a national power eventually winning the Vanier Cup in 2014. David’s dominant play from the tackle position over his final three years resulted in his selection by the Montreal Alouettes in the first round of the 2014 CFL Draft and a free agent offer from the Carolina Panthers.

COLLEGE:

David resides in Montreal in the off-season and was a Criminology major in university. When not in the gym getting ready for football season, you’ll find him on the ice chasing pucks. He notes his first NFL start as his best football memory and his parents as his biggest fans. David has been playing football since the age of 12 and was college teammates with current Lions defensive lineman David Menard. He loves Metallica and lists the Godfather as his go-to movie choice.

COLLEGE:

During his time at Carleton, Nate majored in Communications and Media Studies. A hip-hop connoisseur, Nate lists Kanye West and J Cole as his favourite artists.

His most memorable moment on the football field was establishing a GNAC record by notching 26 tackles in a single game against Humboldt State. An avid fan of rap music, Jordan cites J Cole as his favourite musician. Jordan comes from a tight knit family and he says he can always rely on them for their support.

2018: The 11-year vet appeared in 17 games with the Lions, proving to still be one of the game’s elite fullbacks. Rolly carried the rock twice for three yards and caught two passes for seven yards during the regular season. Rolly also played extensively on special teams, recording six tackles. He started at fullback for the Lions in the East Semi-Final against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. His contributions rarely show up in the stat sheet, but Rolly’s teammates know the true value he brings as a blocker and leader.

2017: Rolly’s ninth season with the BC Lions was memorable on a couple of fronts: with the departures of Ryan Phillips and Jason Arakgi, he became the club’s longest tenured player. The ageless fullback also suited up for all 18 regular season games for the seventh straight season, extending his consecutive games streak to 135. Along with providing a leadership role on special teams and a force in the blocking game, Lumbala recorded 11 catches for 93 yards, the second-best total of his career.

2016: Dressing for all 18 regular season games for the sixth time in as many years, Rolly enjoyed another steady and productive campaign for the Leos. As effective as ever in his role as a blocking back, Rolly still managed four carries for a career-high 46 yards as well as a career-best 31-yard romp versus Saskatchewan on November 5. He also chipped in with another 70 yards through the air on eight receptions and continued his valuable role on special teams.

HIGHLIGHTS:

ROLLY LUMBALAFULLBACK / NATIONAL


2008-2018: A veteran presence for the club both on and off the field, Rolly has become one of the longest-serving players on the active roster after being drafted by the Lions in 2008. A talented blocking back and special teams leader, he has now logged 188 regular season games, which places him in the club’s top-50 all-time.

CAREER:

2004-2007: Rolly enjoyed a productive career at Idaho, appearing in every regular season game for the Vandals dating back to his freshman season in 2004. Used primarily as a blocking back, the Calgary native had eight catches for 67 yards in his senior year.

COLLEGE:

Rolly was a Sport Science major at Idaho and has four siblings (two sisters and two brothers). In addition to football, Rolly also played basketball in high school and still enjoys playing the sport during his spare time. A football player since the age of 12, Rolly notes 2011’s Grey Cup win as his fondest memory but hasn’t forgotten about his pro debut in Calgary in front of family and friends in 2008. In 2011, Rolly took part in the CFLPA’s Huddle for Haiti project and spends most days working at Husky House, a local foster home for at-risk youth. When not actively participating in the club’s off-season community programs, you’ll most likely find Rolly at the movie theatre.

2013-2018 (EDM): Mike enjoyed a remarkable run during his time in Edmonton appearing in 99 regular season games over six seasons throwing for 26,929 yards on 2,120 completions with 144 touchdowns. Remarkably consistent, he became just the third quarterback CFL history to throw for more than 5,000 yards in three-consecutive years after hitting the magic number in 2016, ‘17 and ’18. Only Doug Flutie (four years) and Anthony Calvillo have achieved the same feat.

While he led the CFL with 5,562 passing yards in 2018, his incredible 5830-yard, 447-completion, 30-touchdown campaign in 2017 was his best as a pro setting a Green and Gold franchise record for passing yards and earning himself a CFL Most Outstanding Player selection as well as a CFL All-Star nod.

A career-high for completions (448) and his first of three 5,000-yard efforts highlighted his 2016 season, but his determination and toughness in 2015 was equally incredible for different reasons. Returning to the lineup from an early-season knee injury, Mike appeared in 10 just games and threw for 2,449 yards. His leadership and masterful play was on full display as the season closed out however as he led his Edmonton squad to a Grey Cup title. It marked his second win on the CFL’s biggest stage but first as a starter and Mike capped the year by being named Grey Cup MVP after throwing for 269 yards and a pair of majors in the win.

2010-2012 (BC): Mike joined the Lions in the later stages of the 2010 season and after a few games on the club’s practice roster ascended to a back-up role appearing in four games. He was listed as the third quarterback for the 2011 campaign throwing just a pair of passes, completing one for 12 yards but enjoyed his first taste of Grey Cup glory as a member of the club’s title-winning team that year. In 2012, he was the team’s back-up quarterback behind Travis Lulay and saw a pair of starts ultimately throwing for a total of 684 yards on 74 completions and four majors.

HIGHLIGHTS:

MIKE REILLYQUARTERBACK / INTERNATIONAL


Reilly transferred to Central Washington from Washington State after redshirting the 2004 season at Washington State. It proved to be a smart move as he finished up his career in 2008 ranked third in Division II history in career passing yardage (12,448) including the 3,706 yards he threw for in his final season to finish as the runner-up for the Harlon Hill Trophy, the Division II Heisman. He holds the NCAA all-divisions record with at least one touchdown pass in all 46 career games and completed 64.1% of his passes during that time, including 118 touchdowns during his four years at Central Washington.

2018: Injury was the prevailing theme for Brandon’s season in 2018. The bruising runner sustained an injury during training camp in Kamloops which forced him to miss the first four games of the season. He made his Lions debut on July 20 against the Ottawa RedBlacks, running for 91 yards and one touchdown on 17 carries. Unfortunately, Brandon suffered a torn ACL against the RedBlacks and was forced to miss the remainder of the season.

2017: Brandon appeared in five games for the Montreal Alouettes, totalling 291 yards on 49 carries and catching 17 passes for 100 yards. He set a new career high by averaging 5.9 yards per carry in 2017.

Brandon earned second team All-WAC honours as a senior, rushing for 903 yards on 216 carries with 12 touchdowns.

COLLEGE:
