2015 CFL TEAM AWARDS ANNOUNCED

TORONTO (November 5, 2015) – The Canadian Football League (CFL) announced today the team winners for the 2015 Shaw CFL Awards. 

The players were selected by voting members of the Football Reporters of Canada (FRC) and CFL head coaches. 

In this first ballot, FRC representatives from each CFL city plus the respective head coach submitted votes for the six categories. Voters were asked to select players from their local CFL club who, through the excellence of their on-field performances, best represent the awards’ titles – Most Outstanding Player, Most Outstanding Canadian Player, Most Outstanding Defensive Player, Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman, Most Outstanding Rookie, and Most Outstanding Special Teams Player. 

The East and West Division winners for the 2015 Shaw CFL Awards will be announced on Thursday, November 12. 

New to the East and West Division second round ballot will be the addition of Coach of the Year. Each division will have a nominee, similar to the player awards.
