Sad news… Longtime Radio NL Sports Director Rick “The Bear” Wile passed away last night at the age of 72. Inducted into the Kamloops Sports HOF in 2017, Bear was very dedicated to his craft over five decades. He developed a loyal following as the sports authority in Kamloops.

Vancouver College wins the AAAA championship in an anticlimactic win. Dover went on a cold stretch out of the half and couldn’t respond from it. Ashton Wong went ballistic in the championship game, and won Provincial MVP. First 4A banner for the Irish since 1967

@BCLionsDen No, the Lions have younger, faster and cheaper options in second-year receivers Seven McGee, Jermaine Jackson and Jared Gipson.

@andrew_drown @CFL @BCLions @FarhanLaljiTSN Brice has done well camp and in limited game opportunities. He should have been given more playing time last year. If he had started in place of Masoli in weeks 3 and 4, the Lions might have finished in first place.

Can someone please explain to this @CFL and @BCLions fan why we chose to re-up Chase Brice? If the management group and coaching staff really believed in this guy, wouldn’t he get more reps? Isn’t there another younger QB with more upside out there? @FarhanLaljiTSN any thoughts?

@BCLionsDen It's not a long drive from the Lower Mainland, and there will be a bus option. For those of us who usually make the round trip from the Interior to B.C. Place, these are real home games.

On the eve of buying tickets for Touchdown Kelowna, debating whether both games are in the cards. Hotels are so expensive to stay for the week :(. #BCLions #TDKelowna

eberhardt signs in ottawa .. #bclions not wanting to pay a Z more than $100k is good cap management. Time to find the next Hatcher! .. also you could stick a token cdn out at Z to help with shitty ratio
Dan Ralph@danralphcp

Hearing Ottawa has agreed in principle to two-year deal with American receiver Ayden Eberhardt. It's worth $285k in hard money with max value of $299k. Eberhardt had 45 catches for 863 yards and four TDs last year with BC. His 19.2-yard avg per catch was second-highest in CFL.

@CotyWilesSports @RoarReport I think the Lions want Una to develop into a starter. I don't know if he's there yet. Packer played well when healthy.

@RoarReport Yeah wasn’t totally sure on Packer’s situation with the concussion so just listed Una ahead of him. You are right tho, in the one game they both played together Packer got the start

Here's what the BC Lions' depth chart looks like less than 48 hours away from the communication window opening Seems like most weeks it's going to be five Canadian starters on offence and three on defence Also, the amount of talent and depth along the defensive line is almost unbelievable #CFL #BCLions'

Since winning the Grey Cup in 2011, the BC Lions have failed to reach the big dance, going 0-5 in the West Final and 4-10 overall in the postseason. The team has retained a lot of its talent, but there are still some big names that remain without a contract and questions around the roster. Here's my preview of the Lions two days out from the communication window opening #CFL #BCLions tsn.ca/cfl/article/fr…

@RoarReport Chris Schleuger has taken practice reps at left tackle but most of his game experience is at RT or RG.

Dejon Allen re-signed At RT. how does that affect broxton. Una was awful last year, so sign broxton and play 4 imports on oline (which means Cdn at WILL) .. or find a real Cdn RG if broxton leaves #bclions
Farhan Lalji@FarhanLaljiTSN

#BCLions have signed OT Dejon Allen to a 1 year extension. He went through medical testing over the past 24 hours. The former @cfl most outstanding linemen missed most of last season with a torn bicep

@theprovince Micah Awe was a great leader on and off the field but I’m excited to see Darnell Sankey in the middle. Jeremy Lewis and Ben Hladik deserve more reps at WILL and in packages.

And I’ll ask this … if you were starting a league from scratch would you say “let’s have an average of 28 free agents per team”? Of course you wouldn’t. Put this on the list of things to be addressed before next CBA. @DuaneFordeTSN and @LWillson_82 had some great thoughts on this during the season. #CFL #TSN
Paul Friesen@friesensunmedia

The sheer number and quality of CFL free agents boggles the mind every year. As of Friday, there's an average of 28 per team. The #Bombers have 34. Here are some they should keep: winnipegsun.com/sports/friesen…

@BCLions @cityofkelowna It makes sense as a week-long festival attracting fans from the Lower Mainland and Alberta. I’ll wait for the full details but I’ll probably just drive back and forth from Kamloops and shave four hours off my usual round trip to B.C. Place.

How is it that not once during last night’s Grey Cup, nobody apologized for the technical difficulties? Typical TSN
