WelcomeOn behalf of the BC Lions Football Club, welcome to 2018 Training Camp.

Another exciting year of football is upon us as we hit the field for our 65th 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.

For a ninth consecutive year, one of the longest stretches in our proud history, we have made our training camp home here in the scenic surroundings of Kamloops. 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 head coach Wally Buono, this year’s training camp roster will result in 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 2018.

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 2018 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, May 26th. 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, Johnston Meier Insurance 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 2018.

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 endeavours 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 2018 season marks David’s 22nd 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 22 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.

2013-2016: Nate appeared in 30 games across four seasons with Carleton University, racking up 126 solo stops, one sack, 11 pass breakups and four interceptions. Nate set a career-high for tackles during the 2014 season with 49 and his three interceptions in 2013 represent a career mark. Opposing quarterbacks stayed away from the ball-hawking defensive back during his final season with the Ravens, but he still managed to record 22 solo tackles and a pair of pass break-ups.

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. Nate enjoys pillaging and plundering opposing quarterbacks’ poorly thrown passes, so it makes sense that his favourite film is The Pirates of the Caribbean. Nate is quick to credit his parents and girlfriend as his biggest fans. A self-proclaimed gym rat, Nate is never far from the weight room. Once he hangs up his cleats, Nate hopes to open his own business.

JORDAN HERDMANLinebacker / National

2013-2016: Easily the most productive defensive player in the history of the SFU program, Jordan was twice named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year. The Winnipeg, MB native set numerous GNAC records during his four-year career, including the all-time marks in tackles (428) and assisted tackles (223). Jordan is also the proud owner of the single game conference records for total tackles and solo stops with 26 and 17, respectively.

He was the first SFU alum to ever appear in the prestigious American college all-star game.

Jordan worked extremely hard on and off field as a student-athlete at Simon Fraser University, exiting with a degree in Biomedical Physiology. As a youngster, people would refer to Jordan as ‘Tyson’ for his ability to hit opposing players with the same veracity as a punch from legendary boxer, Mike Tyson. 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. Away from the field, you might find Jordan hiking the Squamish Chief Trail or any of the other trails around Vancouver.

TRAVIS LULAYQuarterback / International

2017: It was the definition of a bittersweet season for the fearless 34-year old leader. Pressed into service after Jonathon Jennings suffered a shoulder injury in week four at Hamilton, Lulay trotted out and provided a CFL record-setting performance for a quarterback coming off the bench with 436 passing yards and three touchdowns on 29 completions in a 41-26 victory. The following week, he was the catalyst in a big fourth quarter comeback against the Blue Bombers that gave the Lions a 4-1 record start to 2017. After earning the starting job back on September 8 against Montreal, he suffered a season-ending knee injury on the game’s opening drive. Through 11 games, Lulay totaled 1,693 passing yards, 10 touchdowns and once again proved himself as a dual threat with 145 rushing yards.2016: Travis appeared in all 18 regular season games completing 22 of his 32 passing attempts for 205 yards and two touchdowns. His biggest contribution as Lions pivot came in Week 3 versus Toronto as he threw for 156 yards and a touchdown on 12 completions. Travis also saw significant game action in short-yardage situations rushing 16 times for 27 yards and six majors including two critical scores in a last-minute win over Ottawa on August 25. During an appearance in the Western Final, Travis was good on six of nine attempts for 86 yards and a touchdown. He also had the club’s longest passing play in the playoffs, a 51-yard catch and run by Terrell Sinkfield.

Travis enjoyed a very successful four-year college career (’02-’05) at Montana State where he left with school records for career passing yards (10,724), career completions (889), passing yards in a season (3,485 in 2004) and passing yards in a game (516 in 2004). In addition to leading his team in rushing yards during his senior year with 611, he also became just the fifth quarterback in NCAA history to throw for 10,000 yards and run for 1,000 yards in a career.

Travis and his wife, Kimberly, along with their three daughters make their off-season home just across the border in Blaine, WA. When he’s not training for the season, he enjoys getting in as much fishing and golfing as possible. Despite his busy schedule, Travis is a tireless contributor to the club’s off-season community programs and makes dozens of appearances across the province each winter. The Lions’ 2011 championship season is his greatest football memory to date, but his alma mater’s 2002 win over Montana ranks as a close second. Away from the field, Travis can be found watching his favorite television show, The Office, or enjoying country music’s Toby Keith and he lists his favourite sports team as the NBA’s Portland Trailblazers.

ROLLY LUMBALAFullback / National

2017: Rolly’s tenth 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. 2015: Rolly dressed for all 18 regular season games for the fifth consecutive season seeing action as the team’s primary blocking back and special teams ace. Rolly hauled in two passes last season and notched his second career touchdown through the air, the last coming as a rookie in 2008. He also tallied nine special teams stops on the season.


2008-2017: 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 171 regular season games, which places him in the club’s top-50 all-time. Rolly hasn’t missed a game in seven seasons and prior to that, his only absence from the Lions roster was due to an NFL tryout with the Miami Dolphins.
