Lou Marsh Trophy
The Lou Marsh Trophy (French Trophée Lou Marsh ) is a trophy that is awarded annually to the best athletes in Canada . It is named after Lou Marsh , a prominent referee and sports writer for the Toronto Star newspaper . The trophy was first awarded in 1936, the year Marsh died. It is made of black marble and bears the inscription With Pick and Shovel ("with pick and shovel"). In the years 1942 to 1944 there were no awards, in 1978 and 1983 the trophy went to two athletes. The most successful athlete is the ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky , who received the trophy four times.
The jury consists of eleven people, including representatives from the newspapers Toronto Star, The Globe and Mail , La Presse and National Post , the television stations CBC , The Sports Network and Sportsnet, and the radio station Fan590 . This narrow restriction to a few media sometimes provokes criticism. The trophies awarded by the Canadian Press news agency Lionel Conacher Award (for men) and Bobbie Rosenfeld Award (for women) are considered more important because their juries are more broadly based.
