Lulay, a 10-year CFL veteran, spent his entire career with the Lions and sits third all-time among franchise quarterbacks with 21,252 passing yards on 1,658 completions with 127 touchdowns. The Oregon native added another 2,148 yards and 23 majors along the ground on 315 carries.

A Montana State grad who went from a Portland free agent camp in 2009 to become the CFL's Most Outstanding Player and a Grey Cup MVP in 2011, Lulay departs the CFL after 146 regular season games, 81 as a starting quarterback and a win-loss record of 48-33. A two-time West Division all-star, Lulay also added a CFL all-star nod to his amazing 2011 campaign.

Overcoming tremendous adversity numerous times during his tenure, he threw for 300+ yards 19 times and led the Lions to 13 game-winning fourth-quarter drives. A tireless contributor to the club's community programs, Lulay established himself as one of the club's most popular players in its 65-year history and thrilled a generation of fans with numerous clutch performances over the years. Remarkably consistent, he enjoyed a winning or .500 record against every other team in the CFL. Often performing his best in an always-tough West Division, he went 9-4 versus Saskatchewan, 9-5 versus Edmonton, 6-4 versus Winnipeg and 7-6 versus Calgary.

BC Lions season tickets for 2019 are available now and start at just $29.90 per seat.

The BC Lions Football Club plays host to the 16th annual Orange Helmet Awards with keynote speaker Drew Bledsoe on Thursday, April 25 at the Westin Bayshore presented by Coast Capital Savings.

BC Lions Training Camp presented by Sun Peaks Resort kicks off in Kamloops on Sunday, May 19.
