REGINA – Earlier tonight Calgary Stampeders running back Jon Cornish became just the third Canadian, and first since 1978, to be named the Gibson’s Finest CFL Most Outstanding Player. Cornish was honoured during the Gibson’s Finest CFL Player Awards held at the Conexus Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan as part of the festivities for the 101st Grey Cup.

In total, five awards were handed out to Canadian players – the most ever in the league’s history.

“The CFL prides itself on having an amazing product and an exciting game of football, and at the centre of it all, are our remarkable players,” said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. “Congratulations to all of this year’s award winners who are all very deserving.”
