By 250 News

B.C. Lions are the 2006 Grey Cup Champions, defeating Montreal 25 - 14.

Paul McCallum Kicked 6 for 6 field goals on the road to victory, tying the Grey Cup record for field goals.

Dave Dickenson was named the player of the game.

Premier Gordon Campbell, on a trade mission to China,  has already issued his congratulations to the team:

"On behalf of Lions fans all across the province, I want to say thank you to owner David Braley, president Bob Ackles, coach Wally Buono and the team for a thrilling season that has brought the Grey Cup back to B.C.,"

"Clearly the Lions took the same commitment, focus and teamwork to Winnipeg that carried them through the regular season with the best record in the CFL and I wish I could have been there to enjoy the excitement. Congratulations to the entire Lions organization for a job well done and a great game. I know the team will receive a warm welcome from British Columbians when they return home to Vancouver."

Earlier in the week, Premier Campbell bet Quebec Premier Jean Charest.  Charest will now have to deliver a case of Quebec Apple Cider to B.C.   Premier Campbell says the Cider will be given to the Lions  for their celebrations.
