“It’s nothing better than what it feels like going to the Grey Cup.”

“Just getting to the Grey Cup isn’t the goal – it’s winning it.”

“I don’t want to just go to the Grey Cup, but I want to win a Grey Cup.”

“Making it to the playoffs, this isn’t good enough anymore.”

The BC Lions are on a mission. It’s not just about making the playoffs; that’s old news now. The team, led by experienced players like Garry Peters and Christian Covington, is hungry for more – they crave championship glory.

Garry Peters, a seasoned defensive back, has his eyes set on reaching new heights. Reflecting on his individual aspirations, he shared his desire for personal bests while emphasizing that nothing compares to the ultimate prize: “All-CFLs are cool…but it’s nothing better than what it feels like going to the Grey Cup.”

Peters isn’t alone in this pursuit of excellence. The entire Lions squad echoes his sentiments. For them, participation in the Grey Cup isn’t merely an achievement; it’s about clinching victory and hoisting the coveted trophy high above their heads.

Christian Covington adds another layer of determination and skill to the Lions’ roster. Eager to build on his successful debut season in 2024, Covington strives for continual improvement: “There’s always room for bettering yourself…helping my team in whichever position they put me in.”

Moreover, with stalwarts like Ryan Rigmaiden and Buck Pierce at key leadership positions, coupled with a talented lineup of receivers and a rejuvenated offensive line, the Lions exude confidence and ambition. Their recent off-season endeavors reflect a deep commitment towards collective success.

In an era where mediocrity is unacceptable for these Lions, Christian Covington emphatically states: “This team is too talented…We have the talent to back it up.” The sentiment resonates across every player on the team – from rookies eager to prove themselves to veterans with championship dreams.

The journey ahead is clear – not just aiming for playoffs but targeting championship glory. Every practice session, game strategy discussion or locker room pep talk revolves around one singular goal: winning it all. As each Lion takes their place on the field, they march forward united by an unyielding spirit of camaraderie and ambition.

In football parlance or life lessons – resilience is key; transitioning seamlessly from setbacks to triumphs defines true champions. And as dusk settles over training grounds and dawn breaks on game days, these Lions stand ready – ready not just as competitors but as contenders destined for greatness.
