The '''Jeff Nicklin Memorial Trophy''' is a trophy awarded to the [[Canadian Football League West Division]]'s most outstanding player, chosen from the nominees from each team in the division. Either this trophy winner or the winner of the [[Terry Evanshen Trophy]] also receives the [[Canadian Football League Most Outstanding Player Award]].

The Nicklin Memorial Trophy was donated to the [[Western Interprovincial Football Union]] in 1946 by the [[1st Canadian Parachute Battalion]], in memory of their commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel [[Jeff Nicklin]], who was killed in action on March 24, 1945. Nicklin was known as an outstanding defensive end for the [[Winnipeg Blue Bombers]] before he entered military service.

When first donated, the trophy was awarded annually to the player in the Western Division considered to be the most valuable to his team.<ref>[http://www.rauzulusstreet.com/football/cflawards/cfloutplayerwest.htm CFL Jeff Nicklin Memorial Trophy - Outstanding Player Western Division]</ref> Since 1973, the trophy is awarded to the Most Outstanding Player of the [[CFL West Division|West Division]]. As part of the [[CFL USA|failed American expansion]] in [[1995 CFL season|1995]], the trophy was awarded to the Most Outstanding Player of the North Division.
