Gauthier and Lewis and a lot of new faces head up 2010 All Stars and Awards

 

The record setting year continued for Josh Gauthier of the League Champion Sault Ste. Marie Steelers from the tabulations of All Star and Awards as conducted by League Coaches and Players along with statistical data.  Gauthier who set new season standards for Rushing Touchdowns, Rushing Average and Total Yards in Season was tabbed as the League Most Valuable Player, Offensive Player of the Year, August Kangro Memorial Leading Scorer, Championship Game M.V.P. as well as All Star honours at Running Back and Kick Returner.  It is the first time in League history that one player has earned that many honours.  In the All Star selections, 17 of the 28 positions saw first time winners.

 

Veteran Brandon Lewis of the League Champion Sault Steelers earned his 14th All Star nod on the Defensive Line which sets a record for one position.  Lewis has also garnered 13 straight nods on the Defensive Line which is also a record.  As well, with Lewis earning Defensive Player and Defensive Lineman of the Year honours, that pushes his Career Awards total to 15, also, a record.  Josh Gauthier also tied a mark as he earned his 4th August Kangro Memorial Leading Scorer Award.  This ties him with Sudbury’s John Miller who earned the award from 1991 to 1994 and Tri City’s Jonathon Nedeljkovic who earned his fourth last year.

 

The League Champion Steelers led the way with 9 All Star nods followed by the Oakville Longhorns whom earned 4 kudos.  Toronto Maddogs, Toronto Raiders and League Finalists Tri City Outlaws each had with 3 apiece. The Sarnia Imperials got 2 All Stars while North Bay Bulldogs had 1.  The Steelers led the Awards parade with 7 selections, Toronto Raiders had two Awards honourees while Ottawa and Tri City had one apiece.
