On episode #24 I’m joined by former starting quarterback(2016-2021) and current offensive coordinator for the Vancouver Island Raiders, Jake Laberge. Jake and I were teammates as well as shared the QB room for 3 seasons with the VI Raiders.
We begin off the field with what Jake has gotten into since his playing days are over. Jake and another teammate of ours with the Raiders, Trevor Pelland both Co-founded the Coast To Coast VI Real Estate team(2:00-4:00).
Jake and I bring it back to the start of his football career: what got him into football, his first position and some of his influences (4:30-15:20). Then we go down memory lane and relive all 5 years of Jake’s VI Raider career including Jake being named the starting quarterback as a rookie and “Coffee gate”(17:00-30:30). We also talk about winning the BCFC provincial championship in year two(30:50-47:47). Transitioning to a new head coach for the third time and Having the craziest comeback in CJFL history in year three(47:50-57:00). Injuries and heartbreak losses in year four(57:10-107:00) and having to deal with the COVID pandemic interfering with the finish of Jakes's football career(108:00-125:00).
We also discuss things like should jake be considered the best quarterback in VI Raider history, what does it mean to be a raider, and why he’s still involved with the team.
