Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies are co-winners of the Lou Marsh Trophy as Canada’s athlete of the year.
It is the third tie in the 82-year history of the award.
This year has been a rollercoaster and I’m very happy to be able to share the Lou Marsh with another deserving winner @LaurentDTardif. It hasn’t been an easy year for many Canadians & we hope we were able to bring some happiness to you with our accomplishments this year 🙌🏾#AD19⚡️
