It was one of those moments that stand out in a pro football player’s life, like draft day, a first touchdown, or a significant win for his team.

For Kienan LaFrance, it was simply walking onto the turf at Investors Group Field for a mini-camp, wearing Blue and Gold colours.

“Just walking out of the tunnel, sporting the colours, being in the stadium for the first time, it’s nice and it feels a little bit more right,” LaFrance said.

The 26-year-old running back from Winnipeg signed with his hometown Blue Bombers in the CFL offseason.

He spent two seasons with the Ottawa Redblacks and one with the Saskatchewan Roughriders before coming home to fulfil a lifelong dream.

“As a kid I was a Bombers fan so finally being a part of the club is really cool and I’m just really looking forward to the season,” LaFrance said.

“My family were huge Bombers fans growing up and I know it hurt them a little bit to see me in green last year. Now it’s going to be a little more of an easy adjustment.”
