Kodiaks coach Boreham embraces Prince George as his new football home

From Day 1 of their inaugural season last year when they joined the BCFC as an expansion team, the Prince George Kodiaks have held firm to their desire to develop a football culture that leans on local talent.

Half the players who gathered on the field at Masich Place Stadium last week for the start of training camp have northern B.C. roots and most of that group are from Prince George “It doesn’t work, you can’t be an in-and-out coach, there’s too much going on and too much that has to happen,” said Boreham. “You’ve got to be in the area. Being here has allowed me to be at every practice, it’s allowed me to meet all the kids and their families.

Boreham, who played nine seasons in the CFL as a kicker with Saskatchewan, Hamilton and Toronto, was a high school phys-ed teacher and athletic director at Notre Dame College in Vancouver when he left to become head coach of the Okanagan Sun. He coached the Sun for three seasons from 2019-21 and was named BCFC coach of the year in 2021 after reaching the conference final, then resigned to attend to family matters in his Burnaby hometown.
