Canadian professional National Hockey League player Alexandre Burrows was voted by the Vancouver Canucks' fans to receive the team's Most Exciting Player Award at the close of the 2007-2008 season. The Vancouver Canucks Booster Club decided that Burrows was also the teams' "Unsung Hero" and therefore the recipient of the Fred J. Hume Award.
It was Burrows' second full season with the team, during which he scored a career high of 12 goals and assisted on 19 others for a total of 31 points. A tough, gritty forward, with the habit of aggravating opposing players, Burrows also earned 179 minutes in the penalty box, nearly doubling his penalty minutes from the previous season.
