The leagues tough guys have been underappreciated for far too long in this league. Game after game they lay their bodies on the line in order to protect their teammates, as well as stir up some energy out of nothing for their teams if they are flagging. While their teammates certainly appreciate their efforts, the league as a whole do not give them much recognition, and they seem to be a dying breed in the game today. In order to bring some more attention to these valiant acts of courage and honour (and shithousery), I bring forth the Protector Award award, awarded to the player deemed to be best in the league in standing up for his teammates and putting his physical being on the line time and time again in order to keep his fellow teammates safe as well as to energize them and keep them playing at their best when times are low. Here's to the fighters! (My player would never in his life win this award, the delicate flower he is)
