  • Le trophée Jeff-Russel (Jeff Russel Memorial Trophy) est un trophée de football canadien créé en 1928 et récompensant actuellement le joueur par excellence de la Ligue de football universitaire du Québec. Le trophée était à l'origine destiné à récompenser le joueur de la Interprovincial Rugby Football Union (prédécesseur de la division Est de la LCF) qui a démontré le plus de courage, d'habileté et d'esprit sportif. Il a été donné à la Canadian Rugby Union en 1928 pour honorer (en), joueur du club de Montréal qui a été tué en mai 1926 alors qu'il réparait des lignes électriques pour la Montreal Light, Heat and Power. En 1973, il change de désignation pour être attribué au joueur par excellence de la division Est. C'était alors le gagnant de ce trophée, ou celui du trophée Jeff-Nicklin pour la division Ouest, qui était choisi joueur par excellence de la Ligue canadienne de football. En 1994 le trophée est retiré à la demande de la famille Russel. Le trophée Terry-Evanshen est alors créé pour remplir la même fonction, et est encore attribué aujourd'hui. En 2003 le trophée Jeff-Russel est réinstauré pour récompenser le joueur universitaire par excellence de la Ligue de football universitaire du Québec ; le lauréat est alors en nomination pour le trophée Hec-Crighton comme joueur par excellence de tout le football universitaire canadien.
