Lions Open CFL Preseason Versus Stampeders At Home
BC Lions seek a strong start as they host the Calgary Stampeders at BC Place in the CFL exhibition opener. Coach Don Matthews notes the focus is on regular-season readiness while eyeing improving the running game and preserving player conditioning. Key QB candidates include Roy Dewalt, Tim Cowan, Steve White, and rookie Karlton Watson, with Dewalt likely starting unless knee fluid sidelights force changes. Calgary counters with quarterback Joe Barnes in a bolstered lineup that adds Dwight Edwards and Dan Rashovich among other offseason acquisitions. Injuries test BC linemen Dennis Guevin and Richard Burtness as the teams prepare for action.
