GK MVP – Callum Cuthbert | Bays United FC | 2025 Grad
Cuthbert has tremendous size and range, resulting in a commanding presence during the combine. He’s an excellent shot stopper and possesses good reflexes leading to proactive reactions when opposing attackers are in tight. Cuthbert also has a fantastic range of pass when the ball is at his feet.
DEF MVP – Cohen Campbell | Coastal FC | 2025 Grad
Campbell is a dominant left-footed central defender with no weakness in his game. He’s big, strong, athletic, and technically sound in possession. Underrratedly, Campbell reads the game very well both while his team is in possession and when they’re out of possession. He has a knack for making the right decision that the moment demands.
MID MVP – Elliot Lupton | Burnaby FC | 2025 Grad
Lupton is a powerful and technical attacking midfielder who scares defenders when he’s driving at them with the ball at his foot. Always looking to pick up the ball between the lines, or knock downs, Lupton wants the ball and wants to wreak havoc in the opponent’s half of the pitch. Only needing half a yard, he’ll shoot at the first sight of goal, and he;’s got the technical ability to score from anywhere.
FWD MVP – Tyler Glass | Fusion FC | 2026 Grad
Glass is a defender’s worst nightmare, a nuisance who will never let them rest and constantly a goal threat. He never stands still, constantly looking to pick up the ball at his feet or by making a sharp run in behind. When he does receive the ball, he’s a major threat to score or create a chance for a teammate.
Young Player MVP – Aiden Muzzio | Thompson Okanagan FC | 2026 Grad
Muzzio is a dynamic attacking midfielder who creates chances for fun. He can be a goal threat from basically anywhere on the pitch as he loves to embrace 1v1 situations, but finds the right times to link up with teammates. His decision-making is especially impressive in and around the box, as he constantly creates chances for his teammates or generates a shot at goal himself.
Overall MVP – Anthony Nicholson | Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC | 2025 Grad
Nicohlson dominated the midfield in each of his games during the event on both sides of the ball. Defensively, he reads the game superbly, always breaking up opposing attacks by intercepting passes or winning tackles. Offensively, Nicholson kept his team ticking, maintaining the flow and rhythm, finding decisive passes.
