Player Records

The Lions player records are based on all available statistical source material and are updated to the end of the 2009 season.   New entries following the most recent season (2009) are in blue.  The season records are for the full season, including playoff and championship games.  For this reason, the season records may differ from the season totals used in the Lions All-Time Leaders statistics, which are for the regular season only.  The Lions player records for Kicking, Returning and Total Offence will be added shortly.

Statistical Source Material

The Lions player records have been determined from the 
following sources: 


    
  
  • Scorers have been recorded for all games played from 1984 to 1996 and all 
  games played from 2000 to 2008. Scorers in games played from 1997 to 
  1999 have been determined except for 16 points scored in 1997, 127 
  points scored in 1998 and 41 points scored in 1999. 
  • Full offensive statistics were taken for eight (8) of eleven (11) games 
  played in 1985, all games played from 1986 to 1997 (excluding play-off games), 
  three (3) games played in 1999 and all games played from 2003 to 2008 
  (including play-off games). 
  • Defensive statistics were 
  taken for the same games as for offensive statistics, except that no defensive 
	statistics were taken in 2003, Tackles for 
  Loss were not recorded for games played in 1987-8 and 2005 and Sacks were not 
  recorded for games played in 1997 and 1999. 
For some records where full statistics are missing 
for some years (eg. Tackles), a career average ("Career (ave)") has been calculated in addition to the career total by determining the seasonal average of each player for those seasons where full statistics were taken and multiplying 
that seasonal average by the total number of seasons played by the player. 
These Lions Player Records have been updated to the end of the 2008 season.
