Template:Infobox sports award
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.[1] 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.
