PG Kodiaks:

The Prince George Kodiaks of the B.C. Football Conference have a new experienced quarterback.

The Kodiaks have come to terms with Sawyer Thiessen, who played last season with the University of Manitoba Bisons.

Thiessen was one of the over 100 players that attended the Kodiaks evaluation camp last month (May 10-12).

“It’s an honour to join such a well respected team in the community. Having an opportunity to compete with a new team in a beautiful city is a once in a lifetime chance, I intend to make the most of every moment” said Thiessen in a news release.

The Kodiaks begin their third season in the league on July 20th when they host the VI Raiders.
