Lions will be unleashed on Kamloops later this weekend. BC Lions, that is.
The CFL team's training camp returns to the city for the ninth consecutive year, May 20 to June 8.
This year’s camp will see new GM Ed Hervey at the helm.
Fans of all ages are invited to show their “Lions Pride” at Hillside Stadium on May 26 for the popular FanFest.
Celebrate with players, trainers and coaches from 5 to 9:30 p.m. There will be a free amateur football clinic at 6 p.m., followed by a practice/scrimmage from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Afterwards, players and coaches will be available for pictures and autographs.
For the kids, there will be face painting and inflatable games, and the night will conclude with fireworks.
Visit www.bclions.com/trainingcamp for a complete list of practice times.
The Lions are B.C.’s most successful pro sports organization, with six Grey Cup titles in 1964, 1985, 1994, 2000, 2006, and 2011.
