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.
