Lions, led by rookie head coach Buck Pierce, had a successful 2025 season, finishing 11-7 and reaching the West final. They boasted the CFLs top net offense, with over 7,700 yards, 559 points, and 59 touchdowns. However, they also allowed the third-most points, leading to a loss in the West final. For the 2026 season, the Lions retained most of their roster, including quarterback Nathan Rourke, running back James Butler, and lineman Dejon Allen. They bolstered their defense by adding linebacker Darnell Sankey and defensive lineman Casey Sayles. Rourke, who had a breakout year with 5,290 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and 10 rushing scores, is eager to improve his 16 interceptions. Receiver Keon Hatcher Senior, who had 1,688 yards and 9 touchdowns last season, aims for even better numbers. The line, despite losing receivers Ayden Eberhardt and Jarell Broxton, is confident in protecting Rourke and pushing further. Training camp begins Sunday in Kamloops, with the team aiming to build on last years foundation and make a Grey Cup run. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
