Doug Mitchell Memorial Award in Football

Members of the UBC Vancouver Thunderbirds football team in any year of study who demonstrate sportsmanship, leadership, and a commitment to their community may be considered.

One or more awards of varying amounts may range from $500 each up to the maximum allowed under athletic association regulations, funded through a gift from the Calgary Stampeders and Calgary Flames Foundation in memory of Douglas "Doug" Mitchell (1939-2022). Selection is made on the recommendation of the Football Head Coach and the Athletics Awards Committee; there is no separate application.

Doug Mitchell (LL.B. 1962) played UBC varsity football, became part-owner of the Calgary Stampeders, and was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.
