The BC Conference will open the 2018 CJFL Canadian Bowl Championship series on Saturday afternoon when the Langley Rams welcome the VI Raiders.  It’s fifth time these two teams will meet in a BC semi-final with the Raiders winning all four previous games which were all hosted at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo.  

Rams’ head coach Howie Zaron and the players are hoping a change of scenery will also have a change of fortunes.  He talks with Ryan Watters.
