The Tom Borrelli Award is presented by the National Lacrosse League to "the league's most outstanding newspaper writer or columnist"[1]. The award is named for Tom Borrelli (1957-2008), a writer for The Buffalo News who covered the Buffalo Bandits from the team's inception in 1992 to his death in 2008.[2] He was inducted into the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame in 2007.

The award was created at the end of the 2005 season and, surprisingly, Borrelli was never a recipient. However, Tom Borrelli was the first sportswriter inducted into the NLL Hall of Fame.

In 2009, The Buffalo News began awarding a lacrosse scholarship and trophy named for Tom Borrelli to the top high school lacrosse player in Western New York. [3] The inaugural Tom Borrelli Memorial Award winner was Jeff Tundo, of Orchard Park, who will play collegiately at Ohio State. [4]
