For the past several seasons, I have been tracking punting numbers in different ways. I do this primarily by dividing the punts into two categories - Own Side of Centre & Opposition Side of Centre
I also track the net yardage of a punt from the line of scrimmage (LOS) on the punt play to the LOS on the next play. This helps adjust for the limitations of the CFL formula for net average. This season, the CFL started to track what it calls True Net which is very similar to my calculation.
When punting from your Own Side of Centre, the primary objective should be net yardage. Justin Medlock is middle of the road for gross average but he ranks 3rd in net average. Meanwhile, the western "all-star" Jon Ryan leads the league in gross average but ranks near the bottom in net average. As Hugh O'Neill noted in a reply to one of my tweets #GrossIsGross

When punting from the Opposition Side of Centre, the focus is more on field position rather distance. I track the percentage of punts that pin the oppoistion inside the 20 yard line, the percentage of kicks that result in singles and net average (this is less important here). Justin Medlock ranks a close 2nd to Hugh O'Neill with 80% of his punts pinnings the opposition inside the 20. He is the only regular punter to not register a punt single from the opposition side of centre. Medlock also leads in net average from this range.
Jon Ryan is once again near the bottom in all these categories. Only 34.8 % of his punts pin the opposition inside the 20. A lot of this can be attributed to the fact that 39.1% of his punts went for singles. Partly due to the number of singles and partly due to coverage penalties, Ryan ranks near the bottom in net average as well.

The final aspect of punting that I looked at was punting & coverage penalties. Once again, Justin Medlock is near the top with only 4.7% of his punts resulting in punt/coverage penalties. Jon Ryan ranks near the bottom again with 21.5% of his punts resulting in penalties.

From a guy who should know..a good read on why Rob Maver doesn’t like the current voting award system for punters...
“I would have voted for Justin Medlock for the West Division,” says Maver. “He was second or first in lowest opponent return, he was second in net (yardage), and I think first inside the ten (yard line). Not to take anything away from anybody else, but when I look at how I value the position and how I’ve strived to play it, those are the metrics that I value.”

I have points and games played for Normie Kwong (1948 & 1949) but no other individual numbers for the season.
The Winnipeg Tribune mentioned that Kwong & Harry Hood accumulated about 150 yards (divided equally) in the September 12 game. The Trib had a more detailed account for the September 17 game - Kwong had runs of 71, 16, 12, 8, 6 & 0 yards.
Kwong played all 12 games in 1948 but was only listed as a starter once. In 1949, he played all 14 games and was listed as a starter 9 times. In this era, if you subbed out of the game you could not return until the following quarter. As a result, starters usually played big minutes. 600 yards seems like a reasonable estimate.

Justin Medlock has made 58 consecutive field goals from inside the 40 yard line.

Based on my research, it appears as though Paul McCallum holds the CFL record with 59 consecutive field goals inside the 40 yard line (2010-2012).

Others on the list include Sean Whyte 57 (2015-2018), Justin Medlock 50 (2015-2017) & Lewis Ward 49 (2018-2019)

I have submitted this to Steve Daniel of the CFL for consideration.

Andrew Harris passed Normie Kwong last night to become the All Time Canadian leader in CFL rushing yards. A big kudos to Andrew!
