Leading the pack a pair of Blue Bombers, a team not found often in the win column or the Gibson's so far this year, Joey Elliot's debut this year as Bomber's QB proved to be worth watching, a performance that picked him up a Gibson's.
One of the rising stars and most exciting players in the CFL this year makes a return appearance, as Chris Williams once again is singled out for excellence.
And the folks at St. F X, raise a glass of Gibson's in honour of alumnus Cauchy Muamba who had a spectacular week for the BC Lions, earning him Top Canadian honours.
