Blue Bombers president/CEO Wade Miller receives Commissioner's Award

On Sunday, Wade Miller, president/CEO of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, received the Commissioner's Award for outstanding contribution to Canadian football.
Miller, a Winnipeg native, played 11 seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as a special-teams standout and became president and CEO in 2013 during franchise difficulties.
This season the Bombers sold out all nine home games and topped CFL attendance for a fourth straight year, while earning double-digit wins the last nine seasons under Mike O'Shea, head coach, and Kyle Walters, general manager.
In a statement, Stewart Johnston called Wade Miller a "true football hero to his team, his community and our entire country" and praised his support for youth football and Indigenous community relations.
After a run that included five straight Grey Cup appearances, Winnipeg lost 42-33 to the Montreal Alouettes in the '25 East Division semifinal; this report was first published Nov. 16, 2025.
