Down, set, hut!

The 2022 Canadian Bowl champion Okanagan Sun open the 2023 season on Saturday, July 29 at the Prince George Kodiaks.

Expectations couldn香蕉视频直播檛 be higher for the Sun, who went an undefeated 14-0 last season, winning the British Columbia Football Conference (BCFC), Intergold Cup, and the Canadian Bowl. They outscored opponents 589-195 over the 14 games.

But according to head coach Travis Miller, the goal is the same, but this is a much different team than last season.

香蕉视频直播淥ur group is gelling and coming together as best as possible,香蕉视频直播� said Miller. 香蕉视频直播淓ach year the culture is a little bit different, I don香蕉视频直播檛 think you can have the same culture year in and year out, it香蕉视频直播檚 specific to the group of individuals you have and how communication occurs. From where I香蕉视频直播檓 sitting, we香蕉视频直播檙e just trying to do the right things and make sure everyone has a sense of urgency and competitiveness so they can keep taking that step every week and develop throughout the year. We have an opportunity to put a product on the field and that香蕉视频直播檚 what everybody is looking forward to.香蕉视频直播�

The team saw 23 players graduate after last season, making half of the 2023 completely brand new.

While the goal of winning the Canadian championship is the same, Miller looks at it from a different prospective for many reasons, including the turnover the team encountered this offseason.

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e not looking at trying to repeat, we香蕉视频直播檙e looking to try and win it again, and I think there香蕉视频直播檚 a big difference between those two things,香蕉视频直播� said Miller. 香蕉视频直播淔rom our standpoint as a leadership group and as an organization, we香蕉视频直播檙e not looking to try to repeat. I think that香蕉视频直播檚 the first pitfall, if you香蕉视频直播檙e trying to do the same thing from the year before with new players. We香蕉视频直播檙e trying to win each game and put the next foot in front of the other and put our team down the right path.香蕉视频直播�

Last season香蕉视频直播檚 BCFC title was their first since 2015 and 17th in franchise history. The Canadian Bowl was the third in franchise history and first since 2000.

Kick off for Saturday香蕉视频直播檚 season opener is set for 7 p.m. at Masich Place Stadium in Prince George.
