Midnight Riders Man of The Year
The Midnight Riders annually present an award to the New England player deemed most valuable to the team. The award is voted on by the membership. At the conclusion of every game, members are able to vote online for that game's Man of the Match. At the final home game of the regular season, those votes are tallied and the award is presented by the Board of the Organization to the winning player. Taylor Twellman is the winningest player, having been presented the award four times between 2002 and 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words midnight, riders, man and/or year:
“Sir Andrew Aguecheek. I know, to be up late is to be up late.
Sir Toby Belch. A false conclusion. I hate it as an unfilled can. To be up after midnight and to go to bed then, is early; so that to go to bed after midnight is to go to bed betimes.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Good swimmers drown and good riders get thrown.”
—Chinese proverb.
“No man lies so boldly as the man who is indignant.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
