The B.C. Lions have captured their 5th franchise Grey Cup with a 25-14 win over Montreal.

It was the year of the Lions in the CFL, and it'll be remembered for more than their 25-14 Grey Cup victory over the Montreal Alouettes.

They had the strongest team all season and, in jumping to an early lead and staying ahead all the way in winning the championship Sunday, they had so much energy left over that they broke the historic trophy.

Paul McCallum's record-tying six field goals and a touchdown by Ian Smart were enough to get the job done on a chilly late afternoon at Canad Inns Stadium
