Every team will be represented at the 2008 Gibson's Finest CFL Player Awards in Montreal with the hometown Alouettes leading the way with three finalists.
''In a season where our veteran players have had career years and our young players have emerged as bona fide stars, it makes perfect sense that every team is represented at this year's awards show,'' said CFL Commissioner Mark Cohon. ''Congratulations to all of our league's finalists and their teams on an exciting year in the CFL.''
The Alouettes three finalists include Anthony Calvillo for Outstanding Player, Ben Cahoon for Outstanding Canadian and Scott Flory for Outstanding Offensive Lineman.
Representing the East for Outstanding Defensive Player is Winnipeg Blue Bomber Doug Brown and for Outstanding Rookie is receiver Prechae Rodriguez from the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
The only unanimous selection is Toronto Argonauts kick return specialist Dominique Dorsey in the Outstanding Special Teams Player category.

Peterson deserves to win the award for Outstanding Canadian player in 2008, but stranger things have happened - as he’s up against “the legend of Ben Cahoon.”
