The '''Dick Suderman Trophy''' ({{lang-fr|Trophée Dick Suderman}}) for the '''Grey Cup's Most Valuable Canadian''' |
The '''Dick Suderman Trophy''' ({{lang-fr|Trophée Dick Suderman}}) for the '''Grey Cup's Most Valuable Canadian''' is awarded annually to the Canadian player deemed to have the best performance in the [[Grey Cup]] game, the championship of the [[Canadian Football League]]. This award is presented before the Grey Cup trophy is presented. |
||
No kicker has ever been named the [[Grey Cup Most Valuable Player]], but kickers have been Most Valuable Canadian twelve times. [[Dave Sapunjis]] is the only player to win the award in back-to-back years. |
|||

The award was introduced at the [[59th Grey Cup|1971 Grey Cup]], and the first winner was [[Dick Suderman]], a Canadian [[defensive end]]. A year later, just six weeks before the playing of the [[60th Grey Cup|1972 Grey Cup]], Suderman collapsed and died from a [[brain hemorrhage]] after playing a regular season game; the trophy was subsequently renamed in his honour. |

==Player achievements== |
|||
The most wins by a player is three, for both [[Don Sweet]] (completed in [[61st Grey Cup|1979]]) and [[Dave Sapunjis]] (completed in [[83rd Grey Cup|1995]]). Four other four players have won the award twice each. |
|||
Dave Sapunjis is the only player to win the award in consecutive ([[79th Grey Cup|1991]], [[79th Grey Cup|1992]]) Grey Cup games. |
|||
[[Garry Lefebvre]] is the only player to be awarded the trophy for his performance at three distinct positions, in three distinct aspects, during a single ([[61st Grey Cup|1973]]) Grey Cup game: [[defensive back]], part of the [[Defense (sports)|defense unit]] of the team; [[Punter (football)|punter]], part of the [[American football positions#Special teams|special teams unit]] of the team; and [[wide receiver]], part of the [[Offense (sports)|offense unit]] of the team. Four other players (one a double winner) have been awarded the trophy for their performance in playing the two distinct, yet related, positions of punter and [[placekicker]]. |

The Dick Suderman Trophy (French: Trophée Dick Suderman) for the Grey Cup's Most Valuable Canadian is awarded annually to the Canadian player deemed to have the best performance in the Grey Cup game, the championship of the Canadian Football League. This award is presented before the Grey Cup trophy is presented.
The winner does not necessarily have to play for the Grey Cup winning team in order to qualify.
The award was introduced at the 1971 Grey Cup, and the first winner was Dick Suderman, a Canadian defensive end. A year later, just six weeks before the playing of the 1972 Grey Cup, Suderman collapsed and died from a brain hemorrhage after playing a regular season game; the trophy was subsequently renamed in his honour.
Player achievements[edit]
The most wins by a player is three, for both Don Sweet (completed in 1979) and Dave Sapunjis (completed in 1995). Four other four players have won the award twice each.
Dave Sapunjis is the only player to win the award in consecutive (1991, 1992) Grey Cup games.
Garry Lefebvre is the only player to be awarded the trophy for his performance at three distinct positions, in three distinct aspects, during a single (1973) Grey Cup game: defensive back, part of the defense unit of the team; punter, part of the special teams unit of the team; and wide receiver, part of the offense unit of the team. Four other players (one a double winner) have been awarded the trophy for their performance in playing the two distinct, yet related, positions of punter and placekicker.
Andrew Harris and Hénoc Muamba are the only players to win both the Dick Suderman Trophy and the Grey Cup Most Valuable Player award in the same Grey Cup game.
