Canadian Football League Trophy
The Eddie James Memorial Trophy is a trophy awarded to the leading rusher in the West Division of the Canadian Football League . Unlike other CFL trophies, there is no equivalent for the East Division .
This trophy, first awarded in the 1950 season , is named after Eddie James , a running back for the Regina Roughriders in the 1930s. In 1995 , as part of the American expansion , the trophy was awarded to the leading rusher in the North Division.
Although this award is typically won by running backs, two quarterbacks (Tracy Ham and Damon Allen ) have also won the award. George Reed currently has the most trophies with six and the award-winner with the most rushing yards in a season is Willie Burden with 1,896.
