Canada Soccer announced that Atiba Hutchinson is the male selection for the 2015 BMO Canadian Players of the Year award. The 32-year-old midfielder was honored from a vote shared by Canadian media (50%) and Canadian coaches (50%).

Hutchinson shares the award with Kadeisha Buchanan , the female selection announced on Thursday.

"Atiba continues to excel as one of Canada's great footballers in the world's biggest sport, as witnessed in our memorable November home win at BC Place in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia Qualifiers," Canada Soccer President Victor Montagliani said in a statement on Friday. "As a four-time winner of this award, he ranks amongst Canada's best athletes. We congratulate him, his family, his teammates, and all the coaches that have helped him shine as a footballer."
