Cavalry FC's Tobias Warschewski Wins 2024 Canadian Premier League Golden Boot Award
October 19, 2024 - Canadian Premier League (CPL) News Release
Toronto, ON - Cavalry FC striker Tobias Warschewski captured the Canadian Premier League's 2024 Golden Boot Award on Saturday, after leading all scorers during the regular season with 12 goals.
Warschewski finished at the top of what was a competitive race for the CPL scoring title in 2024, beating out Atlético Ottawa's Ruben del Campo (11 goals), Vancouver FC's Alejandro Díaz (10 goals) and York United FC's Brian Wright (nine goals) for the award. He scored twice in Cavalry's regular season finale, a 2-1 win over Valour FC on Saturday, to claim the Golden Boot title.
The German striker becomes the second Cavalry FC player to nab the award in as many years, after former Cavalry striker Myer Bevan finished as co-Golden Boot winner with Atlético Ottawa midfielder Ollie Bassett in 2023.
Warschewski returned to the CPL in January 2024, having previously represented FC Edmonton during the league's 2021 and 2022 seasons. It took him until May 3, 2024 to nab his first goals of the season, a pair against Vancouver FC, but he continued scoring consistently throughout the year on his way to his best single-season goalscoring tally in his three years in the league.
The achievement will be recognized at the CPL's annual end of year awards ceremony, which will be held on Thursday, Nov. 7 in either Hamilton, Ont. or Calgary, Alta., depending on where the 2024 CPL Final is held. There, Warschewski will be presented with a unique piece of Inuit soapstone art, conceived by artist Kellipalik Etidloie and carved by artist Ruben Komangapik. The Hunter is awarded annually to the league's top goalscorer as hunters, like true goalscorers, are courageous, fearless in the pursuit, versatile and adaptive no matter the conditions.
