For the fourth consecutive year the BC Lions have opened their doors to the British Columbia Football Conference.  15 BCFC players have received invitations to the Lions Spring Evaluation Camp, taking place May 3-4 and there are more invitations expected to be sent out.

According to the Lions there are a number of reasons why these players were selected to show off their talents.  Seven of the 15 players were members of the Okanagan Sun in 2014, while four players were invited from the defending Cullen Cup champion Langley Rams.

Two players from the Kamloops Broncos also have been invited, while both the VI Raiders and the Valley Huskers will be represented by one player.

The Lions will record each player’s height and weight along with bench press, broad jump and vertical.  They will follow the same testing procedures that occur at the CFL and NFL combines

The 15 invited players are:

Tyron Ledingham - WR– Valley Huskers
Michele Vecchio – OL – Okanagan Sun
Brennan Van Nistelrooy - DB– Okanagan Sun
Cliff Crews – OL- Okanagan Sun
Dexter Janke – S - Okanagan Sun
