Marco Iannuzzi, known throughout the league as an overall great person both on & off the field.
Iannuzzi announced his retirement late during the 2017 season. However, his departure from the game didn’t stop him from winning awards.
Julie Payette, 29th Govenor General of Canada sent the following to Iannuzzi:
