Canada Soccer announced that Atiba Hutchinson is the male selection for the 2015 BMO Canadian Players of the Year award. The Canadian midfielder from Brampton, ON was honoured from a vote shared by Canadian media (50%) and Canadian coaches (50%).

Hutchinson shares the 2015 BMO Canadian Players of the Year award with Kadeisha Buchanan, the female selection who was announced one day earlier.

"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," said Victor Montagliani, Canada Soccer President. "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."

“We’re thrilled for Atiba Hutchinson, this year’s winner of the BMO Canadians Player of the Year award, for his leadership both on and off the soccer field,” said Connie Stefankiewicz, Chief Marketing Officer, BMO Financial Group. “Atiba exemplifies the spirit of soccer and sport that we foster and celebrate at BMO.”
