(Vancouver) The BC Lions Football Club today announced that veteran offensive lineman Tim O'Neill has informed the club of his intention to retire.
The 11-year CFL'er appeared in a total of 158 regular season games with Calgary, Hamilton and last year with BC. He enjoyed three trips to the Grey Cup, earning a ring with Calgary in 2008.
