The BC Lions Football Club congratulates the award-winning coaches who picked up highly-coveted honours at last night's 2011 Orange Helmet Awards presented by Scotiabank.
 
The sold-out event, which recognized 2010 provincial champions for all levels of amateur football in BC, took place on Friday, March 4th and took on a championship flavour as five Grey Cup-winning quarterbacks headlined the Night of Champions for the sold-out crowd of 900 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Joe Kapp, Roy Dewalt, Danny McManus, Damon Allen and Dave Dickenson were on-hand to recount their days under centre for British Columbia’s most storied professional sports team. Each guiding the club to Grey Cup victories, the Fabulous Five took fans behind the scenes of five different eras of BC Lions football.

Now in its eighth year, the 2011 Orange Helmet Awards recognize provincial champions at all levels of amateur football as well as the Community Coach of the Year, Scholastic Coach of the year and Bob Ackles Lifetime Achievement winner. The dinner also acts as a fundraiser for grassroots football with more than $420,000 in donations collected to date.
