Players of the Week: Week 1

We are pleased to announce our players of the week for week 1 of the regular season!

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  

LJ DYER - #3 - RB, London Beefeaters

In a hard-hitting game on a rain soaked field in the nation’s capital to kick off the 2023 season, the veteran London ball carrier pounded the ball 23 times for a hard fought 110 yards and a touchdown ruining the Sooners’ home opener.  LJ’s longest carry for the day went for 13 yards.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK  

Zach Chaddock #22  LB , Hamilton Hurricanes

The 2022 Outstanding Defensive Rookie of the Year picked up where he left off last year.  In limited action where he led a stout Hamilton defence that saw the Hurricanes shut out GTA in the Grizzlies' home opener, Chaddock racked up 2 sacks, 3 tackles, one of which was a tackle for loss and recovered 1 fumble.

Luke LeMessurier, #3 REC, Hamilton Hurricanes

The personal protector on the Hamilton punt team turned in the most electric and unusual play of the weekend in the OFC when he astutely picked up the partially blocked Hamilton punt and raced 32 yards to the GTA end zone for the touchdown.
