-Vintage Canuck- Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Lions Bring Back Anthony Gaitor: Quote The BC Lions Football Club today announced that international defensive back Anthony Gaitor has re-signed with the team. Gaitor (5’10”, 180) made starts for the Leos in the final 10 regular season games of the 2016 season recording 35 defensive stops. He notched his first CFL interception in Edmonton on September 23 and followed that up with a 37-yard pick-6 versus Ottawa on October 1. He tallied another five tackles in the postseason as well as an interception in the Western Final. Following the season he signed with the New Orleans Saints. “Anthony adapted to our game very quickly last season and was a valuable addition to our defence,” said GM and head coach Wally Buono. “We’re pleased to have him back and I look forward to the competition this creates in our secondary.” The newly-signed defensive back will be on the field this afternoon as 2017 Training Camp presented by Sun Peaks Resort enters its second day.

Grapefruits Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Good on the Lions but they should really do this all season long. KIDS ARE JUST $5 ALL SUMMER!

Bruce Boudreau Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Anybody watch/care for the preseason? CFL real games start next week. Lions new RB Josh Harris looks good offence looks good. O line LB and secondary are still questions... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 6 months later the CFL is back to hold you over for the summer. Until the NFL is back in September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Looks like they are ready for the season to begin. Wonder what Wally is going to say about, and to Jeff Roh. Gets a sack called back for a banned celebration, then gets a sack on the next play and gets the same penalty. Slow learner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Jason Arakgi retired after the game, got a job offer in the "real wold" and took it. Edited June 17, 2017 by gurn spelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity the CFL, or the local media, who knew pre season games existed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He announced he is stepping away from football Friday night after he helped the Leos close out the pre-season with a convincing win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders. A veteran presence in the Lions locker room since 2008, Arakgi will best be known for the imprint he left on the CFL record books as he retires as the League’s all-time leader in special teams tackles with 194. “I can’t thank this organization enough,” Arakgi told a gathering of reporters after the preseason finale Friday. “And cant thank Wally (Buono) enough. He has become like a father to me over the years and it has been such a blessing to have been here for 10 years now.” Arakgi leaves the game with 155 games played and a Grey Cup champtionship (2011) on his resume. “I have met some of the best people I have ever met in my entire life in this locker room and I would never trade it for anything else ever.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be missed. Maybe he can provide a third generation of Arakgi's for the Lions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
