[Nige]

So it's time for the Ottawa Otters best and fairest count for 2017. It's bound to be an absolute ripper of a count because who doesn't love a count that drags on way longer than it should because the person in charge is putting in way more effort than they should?

Votes awarded on 5-4-3-2-1 system. Best effort gets 5 and so on and so forth.



Red = 5 votes
Orange = 4 votes
Green = 3 votes
Purple = 2 votes
Blue = 1 vote

Time for another award!

The winner of the Romper Stomper award for 2017 is: Ben 'Big Boy' McEvoy



Big Boy was extremely underwhelming in his output in 2016 but to his credit, he's been absolutely superb all year in the absence of Nic Naitanui and has every right to be angry at coach Nige for benching him in favour of Sam Naismith at the start of this season.
