The new board of Prince George’s junior football team, the Prince George Kodiaks, has been given a tight timeline to secure their future.

At an annual general meeting (AGM) held Wednesday night, the board was informed they have 48 hours to ensure they are compliant with the conditions needed to compete in the upcoming season of the B.C. Football Conference (BCFC), which is itself a member of the Canadian Junior Football League.

Those conditions include showing the team will be able to field a full roster, including coaching staff, as well as a viable financial plan and budget.

In email to CBC News, BCFC president Tyler McLaren said the new board is meeting Thursday and he plans to make himself available to support their efforts.

“Electing a new board is a positive first step, but obviously there are hurdles to still overcome in a relatively short period of time,” he wrote.

The team operated at a deficit of just over $23,000 in 2025, while dealing with declining revenue.

Financial issues have been cited as one of the primary reasons head coach Jamie Boreham was fired after leading the Kodiaks to their first playoff spot and being named the league’s coach of the year.

Following Wednesday’s AGM, the new board indicated they hope to open the door to bringing Boreham, a former CFL player, back on board.

His departure has been a key reason cited by several players for leaving the Kodiaks for other prospects and led to the resignations of the team’s former president, vice president and treasurer.
