The members of the Committee are: Guy Darveau, Natasha Llorens, the Anti-Doping Program Coordinator, Ãric L'Italien, a former player and Marcel-Robert Trophy winner, Sébastien Fyfe of Alliance Sport-Ãtudes, and Willy Palov of the Chronicle Herald.
The TELUS Scholastic Player of the Year will be awarded the Trophy as well as an additional $500 bursary.
