Running back Brady Oliveira, the CFL’s rushing leader, is named a divisional all-star for the first time. The Winnipeg native is the West finalist for this year’s outstanding player award.

Winnipeg receivers Dalton Schoen and Nic Demski were also named to the squad, along with Calgary star wideout Reggie Begelton and a pair of B.C. Lions receivers in Keon Hatcher and Alexander Hollins.

Lions defensive end Mathieu Betts, who set a record for sacks by a Canadian this season with 18, leads the West’s defence.
