Moser:  Certainly Barrett had tremendous numbers, one of the statistically-best seasons in CW history however the voters clearly rewarded Hinz who was the most effective player on the top team in the country through the regular season.  Voters in general appeared to reward players on teams that were successful:  six of the 10 All-Canadians came from teams that are participating in the Final 8.  Exposing my poor journalistic skills, a more complete analysis would have a comparison with other years but alas back soon to watching the markets tank (and my clients make money !)

Defensive Player:  No doubt Greg Stewart deserves this award even with the tremendous defensive players across the country including Greg Carter, Cole Hobin, Stephen Lopez and Phil Nkrumah.

Top Rookie and Top Coach:  Again rewards for great individual performances that equated to tremendous team success.  Smart did arguably his finest job ever given the pre-season expectations and the lack of a senior class.

All-Rookie Team:  It is a terrible travesty that Ottawa's 6'3" Johnny Berhanemeskel didn't make this team.  His season was monumentally better than at least two players named however it appears that for some reason each conference had to be represented.  This season, that custom has served Berhanemeskel and CIS basketball poorly.
