EDMONTON — Ottawa Redblacks slotback Brad Sinopoli was named the CFL’s top Canadian on Thursday night.

Sinopoli, from Peterborough, Ont., captured the honour at the league’s awards banquet.

Voting was conducted by members of the Football Reporters of Canada and the nine CFL head coaches.

It’s the second time Sinopoli has won the award, first doing so in 2015.

Sinopoli had 116 catches — a single-season record for a Canadian — with Ottawa. The former Ottawa Gee-Gees star quarterback accumulated 1,376 receiving yards with four TDs in helping the Redblack finish atop the East Division with an 11-7 record.

Winnipeg running back Andrew Harris, last year’s winner, was the finalist. Harris, a Winnipeg native, led the CFL in rushing for a second straight year, registering a career-best 1,390 yards.
