Quickly becoming one of Vancouver’s most anticipated annual events, the 2011 Orange Helmet Awards presented by Scotiabank took on a championship flavour as five Grey Cup-winning quarterbacks headlined the Night of Champions on Friday night at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Joe Kapp, Roy Dewalt, Danny McManus, Damon Allen and Dave Dickenson were on-hand to recount their days under centre for British Columbia’s most storied professional sports team. Each guiding the club to Grey Cup victories, the Fabulous Five took fans behind the scenes of five different eras of BC Lions football.

Now in its eighth year, the 2011 Orange Helmet Awards recognize provincial champions at all levels of amateur football as well as the Community Coach of the Year, Scholastic Coach of the year and Bob Ackles Lifetime Achievement winner. The dinner also acts as a fundraiser for grassroots football with more than $420,000 in donations collected to date.
