Two in a Row for GSP as Canadian Athlete of The Year

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has done it again, winning Sportsnet's Canadian Athlete of The Year award for the second year in a row. GSP received more than 60 percent of fans' votes to beat out the Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby for the honor. Montreal's St-Pierre also won the award in 2008 and was preceded by Crosby in 2007 and the Phoenix Suns' Steve Nash in 2005 and 2006. Congrats to the champ!
