Player Awards



Josh Bourke – T – Montreal Alouettes

Montreal Alouettes tackle Josh Bourke, a native of Windsor, Ont., is the Most Outstanding Offensive Lineman of the Year. He received 35 votes despite sustaining a late-season shoulder injury. Montreal allowed an East Division-low 34 sacks while leading the CFL in scoring (28.6 points per game), total offence (403.8 yards per game) and passing (309 yards per game).

Bourke, who underwent surgery almost three weeks ago, said winning the award has helped him take a step forward in his career.

"I'd trade it for team awards or Grey Cups anyday,'' Bourke said. "But it's a step for me and a standard I'll try to uphold.''
