Dave Dryburgh Memorial Trophy
The Dave Dryburgh Memorial Trophy is a Canadian Football League trophy, given to the top scorer in the West Division.
Unlike other CFL trophies, there is no East Division counterpart, though the East Division teams were eligible in the 1995 CFL season, when the final year of the three year expansion to the United States resulted in the West / East divisions being replaced by an all-Canadian (Dryburgh Trophy eligible) North Division and an all-American South Division.
The trophy was established in November 1948, by sportswriters in Western Canada to honour Dave Dryburgh, the sports editor of the Regina Leader-Post who died in a boating accident in 1948. It was original awarded to the top scorer in the Western Interprovincial Football Union.[1]
