[RS]

Game of the Year: Vancouver's home opener. I was in the crowd and it was awesome to experience an "inaugural" game from the other side.

MLS Breakout Player of the Year: Brek Shea. He faded towards the end of the year due to fixture congestion, but he has a ridiculous future.

Transaction of the Year: DeRo to DC. It's been explained enough by others.

Assist of the Year: Stefan Frei's field-long punt to Javier Martina, who volleyed home a world class strike. From TFC's home opener vs. Portland.

MLS Canadian Broadcast Call of the Year: Luke Wileman's call of the above goal for TSN.

Controversy of the Year: Teitur Thordarson's sacking.

Canadian Export of the Year: Simeon Jackson. He may be struggling now, but his red-hot form (including two goals in the playoff promotion match) almost single-handedly lifted Norwich to the Premiership.

Canadian Underrated Player of the Year: Marcel de Jong. Starts every game when healthy, promoted to Bundesliga and kept his starting job.

Gaffe of the Year: Thordarson sacking.

Fantastic Finish of the Year: Eric Hassli at Seattle. Honourable mention to Javier Martina vs. Portland.
