ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD
The candidate has to be a “true rookie”. Someone that is new to the League and not a player who has played in the past, took a hiatus for whatever reason and is now back playing again. In some instances this award may NOT be awarded if there are no candidates to fit the criteria.
