Saskatchewan Roughrider offensive lineman Jeremy O'Day was honoured with the annual Tom Pate Award earlier this evening at the CFL Player Awards in Montreal.

Each year, teams nominate a team member for this award. The recipient should embody qualities that recognize a player with outstanding sportsmanship, who has made a contribution to his team, as well as, to his community association, similar to Tom Pate who had a unique combination of outstanding sportsmanship and dedication to the league and the community.

O'Day has exemplified leadership on and off the field during his ten years with the Roughriders. He has made countless charity and community appearances and currently organizes the Community Youth Challenge which sees Rider players make over 200 school appearances throughout the province every year.

O'Day is the first Rider to receive this award since former defensive back and current defensive coordinator Richie Hall in 1990.
