The Eskimos honour players who have best represented the team on the field. The player's name, number and seasons played with the Eskimos is displayed on the edge of the concrete separating the upper and lower decks of Commonwealth Stadium.

And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.”
