Yeah, you know, it's funny.

This is my – I think it's my –

my 14th year with BC and I've never been to Kelowna despite being up to Kamloops a dozen times or whatever we've been up here.

And so number one, I'm excited just to go see it because I've heard everything.

Everybody said it's just absolutely magical up there, but Dwayne, you know, our president does a terrific job of, of getting these, these satellite games set up for us like we did in, in Victoria.

And, um,

Just judging by how Touchdown Pacific and everything had went for us before, I think it's going to be absolutely awesome.

The guys are really looking forward to it.

And then again, the families are too because they get to come up and see their guys.

Yeah, just a tremendous leader, just a true alpha on the defense in the front seven.

This guy is the epitome of what you want for a – I call it a Mike linebacker.

Mike Benavides would shoot me.

He'd say you better call it a Mack linebacker now.

But he's that alpha thumper in the middle that's going to direct traffic for us and be just an absolute beast in the box in between the tackles.

So, yeah.

You know, we really felt like this was an area we had to upgrade this year to take that next step.

We've had some good players there before, but we felt like we needed an exceptional one for us to take the next step.

And again, only in two or three days, Darnell's already out there doing what we thought he would.

So this guy's a veteran player that plays at an all-star level.

And we think putting him behind the D-line that we have is going to be exceptional.
