Canadian football team season March 2026 BC Lions 2009 8–10 4th, West Wally Buono Wally Buono BC Place Stadium Lost East Final Geroy Simon Martell Mallett Image:CFL BCL Jersey 2009.png The 2009 BC Lions season was the 52nd season for the team in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and their 56th overall. The Lions finished the season in fourth place in the West Division with a disappointing 8–10 record after losing their last three regular season games. While it was their first losing record since 2001, they still managed to play in the East-Semi Final playoff game against the Hamilton Tiger-Cats after that same team eliminated the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the last game of the season. The Lions would go on to play in the first East Final in franchise history, which they lost to the Montreal Alouettes. It was the sixth consecutive appearance for the Lions in a division final and the third consecutive season that their season was ended by the eventual Grey Cup champions. Offseason CFL draft The 2009 CFL draft took place on May 2, 2009. The Lions traded their sixth and thirteenth overall picks for Hamilton's third overall pick in order to secure the chance to draft Bishop's running back Jamall Lee.http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2009/05/02/great-pick-if-lee-doesnt-stick-with-panthers/ B.C.
