B.C. Lions News Release


(Vancouver). Six months, 18 regular season games, a dominating West Division playoff victory and a long overdue Grey Cup championship resulted in a year to remember for coaches, players and staff and on Sunday night the BC Lions capped it off by receiving their long-awaited championship ring. The 10-carat, 60g, 'Championship-sized' rings include 38 round diamonds divided between each side, 21 round diamonds on the Lions logo and five large marquise diamonds - one on each of the five Grey Cups depicted on the ring's top. The visible portions of two trophies include eight more diamonds bringing the total diamond weight to 1.75 carats.

Each player ring is customized with a name, position and number on one side and includes the unique orange helmet the club wore in the victory last November as well as an XV insignia representing the team's 15 wins in 2006. The other side features the score from last season's final, the Vancouver skyline and the CFL logo.

BC Lions Training Camp kicks off on Monday, June 4 in Abbotsford. Season tickets are on sale - to order your tickets call 604-589-ROAR. For information on the 2006 Grey Cup champion BC Lions Football Club please visit our website at www.bclions.com.
