At his 12th training camp, Ryan Phillips still going strong for B.C. Lions
KAMLOOPS, B.C. — An off-season vacation earlier in Ryan Phillips’ career might have taken him to a party destination like Las Vegas.
Now a family man at 33, the veteran defensive back for the B.C. Lions embarked on a much different kind of trip with his wife and two young sons this past winter.
“To go to Disneyland Paris was something,” said Phillips, grinning ear to ear while recounting his European adventure that also included stops at the Louvre museum and the Eiffel Tower.
“I enjoy being a father. That’s what I do first and foremost. I want to be the best role model possible for them,” he added. “Instilling those family values is always going to be the No. 1 priority for me.”
