Winnipeg Blue Bombers News Release
WINNIPEG, MB., January 8, 2015 - After seven seasons in the Canadian Football League, and the last three with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, National defensive tackle Ryan Lucas has announced his retirement.
Lucas has played in 17 games with Saskatchewan, Montreal and Winnipeg, from since 2007.
"Obviously having the injuries in consecutive seasons played in a role in my decision," said Lucas. "I really, honestly, cherished my time as a Bomber, and love the organization. It's a place I wanted my career to end when that time did come. It's time to move on, and enjoy life after football."
"Ryan Lucas is one of those people you just want to see succeed," said General Manager Kyle Walters. "Unfortunately, having the injuries kind of pile up on him there made it difficult to move forward, but carving out a seven year CFL career is an accomplishment in its own. As an organization, we wish Ryan all the best in the next phase of his life."
