2015 Northern Football
Conference All Stars and Awards determined.
Honours are determined
from votes cast by coaches and players, along with
statistical performance weighting for all All Star
positions and some awards honours.
Sarnia Imperials Coach
Jake Cherski was named Coach of the Year along with
three of this players, Ryan Lounsbury (Offence All
Star), Kevin Allaer (Special Teams) and Brad
Churchill (Second Team All Star).
The G.T.A. All Stars vanquished the Ottawa Invaders
in the League Championship game, and the All Stars
mastery continued in the League All Star and Awards
voting/selections for the recently completed season.
The All Stars proved more dominant in the Awards
section as they earned nine of twelve honours and
seven All Star nods. Pivot Tom Denison led the way
with his fourth Most Valuable Player Selection,
third Offensive Player of the Year nod and fifth
selection as the All-Star quarterback. Defensive
Lineman Michael Livingston also has multiple honours
as Defensive Player of the Year, Defensive Lineman
of the Year, Defensive Championship Game M.V.P. and
All-Star on the Defensive Line.
Veteran Brandon Lewis of the Sault Ste. Marie
Steelers, earned his 19th All Star nod on the
Defensive Line which extends his record for one
position. Lewis has also garnered 18 straight nods
on the Defensive Line which is also a record. Sarnia
kicker Kevin Allaer swept the special team kicking
kudos as punter and place kicker and for the first
time ever, there was a tie for the Mike Jackson
Memorial Special Teams Player of the Year with
Archelaus Jack (Oakville) and Bill Nyantakyi (G.T.A.)
splitting that honour. Like teammates Denison and
Livingston, Nyantakyi also grabs multiple plaques as
Rookie of the Year and Kick Return All Star. Jack
joins the multiple winners club as an All-Star
Receiver and also earned his first August Kangro
Memorial Trophy as the Leagues leading scorer which
ended Josh Gauthiers grip on that kudo. Gauthier
had won seven of the last nine seasons.
The Oakville Longhorns were next in the All-Star
honours with five and two league awards. Hamilton
Steel City Patriots, the Steelers, Sudbury Spartans
and Tri City Outlaws earned two all-star nods each
and Montreal Transit has one all-star honour. The
Champion G.T.A. will be hosting the C.M.F.L. Final
which is slated for Saturday September 26th at a yet
to be determined location. The Alberta Football
League champion will be determined on September
12th. The All Stars will be looking to retain the
C.M.F.L. title that Montreal won 49-26 over the
Calgary Wolpack in Calgary last Fall.
2015 also sees the continued recognition of Second
Team All Stars. The complete listing of those
