CFL's Most Outstanding Canadian Award

For the Most Valuable Canadian player of the Grey Cup game, see Dick Suderman Trophy.

The Most Outstanding Canadian Award is annually awarded to the best Canadian player in the Canadian Football League. The two nominees for the award are the Lew Hayman Trophy winner from the East Division, and the Dr. Beattie Martin Trophy winner from the West Division. The winner of the award is chosen by the Football Reporters of Canada since 1954.^[1] Players born outside of Canada may win the award if they have non-import status.
