Stampeders safety Wes Lysack was this year's recipient of the Tom Pate Memorial Award.

Every year the CFLPA invites each CFL Club to nominate a team member for this award.  The recipient must be a player with outstanding sportsmanship and someone who has made a significant contribution to his team and to his community and Association.

"You don't seek out recognition for what you do off the field," Lysack said.

"It is a great honour."
