Canadian sports trophy for Canadian gridiron football
The Lew Hayman Trophy is a
Canadian Football League trophy, awarded to the outstanding
Canadian player in the
East Division . Each team in the East Division nominates a player, from which the winner is chosen. Either the winner of the Hayman trophy or the
Dr. Beattie Martin Trophy will also win the
Canadian Football League Most Outstanding Canadian award .
As part of the
failed American expansion in 1995, the Hayman trophy was awarded to the Martin Trophy runner-up, as the South Division teams (to which other East Division titles were assigned to that year) did not have an import quota.
The trophy is named after
Lew Hayman , former coach and general manager of the
Toronto Argonauts and the
Montreal Alouettes , as well as a past CFL president.
