Chiefs loose forward Sam Cane cleaned up at the 2015 Chiefs Awards at SkyCity in Hamilton on Monday night.
In front of sponsors, families and friends Cane made a clean sweep collecting the Chiefs Player of the Year as voted by the fans, the Chiefs Player of the Year as
voted by the coaches, and the Players Player of the Year.
In his acceptance speeches, Cane acknowledged how important the fans are to the Chiefs. Two special groups of fans were invited as guests of honour to the awards evening, the Reed and Fakalelu families who have been long-term Chiefs fans and had attended every game for many years.
Chiefs Rookie of the Year as voted for by the players went to loose forward Michael Leitch.
He joked at being 26 and receiving Rookie of the Year but also paid tribute to young dynamic play maker Damian McKenzie who had impressed him this season.
