Canadian Football League (CFL) Awards and Trophies
A Brief History of CFL Awards
Prior to 1953, all the awards given out in Canadaian professional football were divisional awards only. In 1953, the oldest and most prestigious individual honour was instituted. This was the Outstanding Player Award, and it was soon joined in 1954 by the Outstanding Canadian Award and in 1955 by the Oustanding Lineman Award. Today, the "Outstanding" awards have grown to six. The Outstanding Lineman Award was split into two, giving the Oustanding Offenssive Lineman Award and the Outstanding Defensive Player Award, and the Outstanding Rookie Award and the Outsanding Special Teams Player Award were added. For a number of years, the awards were sponsored by a brewery and were collectively known as the Schenley Awards.
