The player of the year award went to Waterloo University’s Mike Moser, while the award was posthumously renamed after him. Moser, who’d briefly played for Brown University, had been selected All-Canadian the previous two years and was a two-time OUA West all-star and winner of the Lebel trophy as conference MVP a year earlier. A member of Canada’s national team from 1972-1974, Moser died on January 12, 1975, while in St. Petersburg, Florida, after being hospitalized for what was believed to be the flu. Waterloo had been on an exhibition tour in Florida. Moser had represented Canada at the World championships in Puerto Rico. He scored a personal best of 52 points against Concordia in 1873. He averaged 19.21 ppg in 1973, 28.0 ppg in 1974 and 24.8 ppg in 1975 for a lifetime average of 24.5 ppg.
