The Canadian Soccer Association has released its list of nominees for player of the year awards in six categories: men's, women's, men's and women's U-20, and men's and women's U-17. Media and coaches will select the winner in the men's and women's categories, while coaches will pick the winners in the four youth categories.
Below the jump is a list of all the nominees, along with my guesses as to who'll take the awards.
