CF Montreal announced its end-of-season awards on Monday with Canada midfielder Mathieu Choiniere claiming Most Valuable Player and goalkeeper Jonathan Sirois winning Defensive Player of the Year.
An All-Star this season for the first time, the 24-year-old Choiniere was CFMTL's top scorer with five goals and five assists. The Saint-Alexandre, Que. native made 28 MLS appearances this season, playing 2,436 total minutes.“I am not surprised by the votes in Mathieu’s favour," club vice-president Olivier Renard said in a statement. "He was exemplary from start to finish.
Sirois, 22, posted a club-record 11 clean sheets in 33 matches this season. The LaSalle, Que. native made 98 saves over the course of the season, giving him a .676 save percentage on the year. “No surprise either for Jonathan, who could also have been named MVP," Renard said."After two years on loan , he has achieved great things with us this season, notably setting a record in clean sheets. He is a fine example of a player who has progressed within the organization, remained focused on his role and objectives, and became a first-team regular with his hometown club."
With Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Columbus Crew, Montreal missed the playoffs for the second time in three seasons.
