If the objective of the Lou Marsh Trophy is to highlight and reward the Canadian who performed best in their sport over the course of the year, then this award should have already been in the mail to Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies.
This year has been so long and devoid of joy, so the purpose here isn’t to denigrate the other deserving candidates, but to highlight why Davies’ ascension as the world’s best left back while playing a starring role in Bayern’s Champions League triumph is a relatively stronger accomplishment than that of any other Canadian athlete.
This year has been a rollercoaster and I’m very happy to be able to share the Lou Marsh with another deserving winner @LaurentDTardif.
