		His daily sports column in the Toronto Star from 1925 to 1936 was entitled "With Pick and Shovel," describing his tenacious ability to obtain an in-depth analysis of the sporting scene.

		Voters for the Lou Marsh Trophy, presented annually to Canada's top athlete, announced this week that Klassen was the winner for 2006.
		Klassen had previously claimed the Canadian Press Female Athlete of the Year award for the second year in a row, but unlike the CPs, the Lou Marsh Trophy is not seperated by gender.
		This marks the 70th year since the founding of the Lou Marsh Trophy in 1936, although no award was handed out during the war years of 1942-44.

	Just Another Blog on Sports - Toronto Star: The Lou Marsh Trophy
		Nash won the Lou Marsh a year ago, and Olympic athletes are penalized, in a way, in that the media making the call, like the public, pretty much ignore Olympic sports in non-Olympic years but give them huge weight otherwise.
		I expect Klassen to win it, and there are strong arguments in her favour -most of all, five of them, hanging around her neck.
		The Lou Marsh has to go to Steve Nash because of the incredible feat of winning the NBA MVP for two consecutive years.

		Klassen, from Winnipeg, Man., is only the third speed skater since 1936 to receive the Lou Marsh award.

		But if she ever does, she now has some trash talk she can throw in Nash's face: just remind him who won the Lou Marsh Trophy in 2006.
		So as of today, Klassen is sharing trophy space with the likes of Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky and Mike Weir, not to mention some of the great Olympians of all time.
		A fan poll conducted by the Toronto Star, which hands out the Marsh award, had Klassen as the choice of 53% of voters, compared to 18% for Nash -- a surprising result, given the profile Nash enjoys as a pro athlete.

	globesports.com: Klassen wins Lou Marsh Trophy
		She was competing against the best athletes in the world in her sport and, although she technically won five medals in speed skating, she actually won medals in five different skating disciplines: 1000, 1500, 3000 and 5000 meters as well as the Team Pursuit.
		I expect that, given the same slate of possible winners for the Lou Marsh award, (or a comparable US award, where the finalists included a five-time Olympic medalist/world champion) the same American writers who chose Steve Nash as the NBA MVP would have chosen Cindy Klassen as Athlete of the Year.
		He won his second consdecutive MVP and was second in the Lou Marsh ballotting.

	Out Of Left Field: MORNEAU GLORY FOR CANUCK SLUGGER
		Believe it or not, and this should tell you a lot about the Canadian character, winning a major individual award in major-league baseball is the kiss of the death so far as winning the Lou Marsh goes.
		None of the previous Hoser hardballers who won major awards -- the Cy Young or MVP -- won the Lou Marsh that same year, and all three were snubbed in favour of someone who participates in something that's barely a sport.
		Actually, in all seriousness, if Cindy Klassen doesn't receive the Lou Marsh Award after what she did in winning five medals in Turin, they ought to abolish the award.
