NORTHERN FOOTBALL CONFERENCE

Honour Roll

The Northern Football Conference started to recognize outstanding personal achievement at various times. The oldest league award is the August Kangro Memorial Trophy which is presented to the league's leading scorer. It was presented to the league in 1954 by Henry Kangro to pay tribute to his brother who died during World War II. The league established an award to recognize the Most Valuable Player in 1958 and then the Lineman of the Year in 1960. In 1963 the league established the Leo Troy Trophy, to be presented to the Rookie of the Year, in honour of long time league executive and supporter Leo Troy. When Leo passed away the trophy was renamed the Leo Troy Memorial Trophy. In 1971 the league established a Coach of the Year award. In 1996 the award was renamed the Sid Forster Memorial Trophy in honour of long time executive and coach Sid Forster who passed away in 1995. Starting in 1981 the league began to recognise Offensive Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. With the exception of the August Kangro Memorial Trophy, all awards are voted upon by the players and coaches of the league.
