Canadian Youth Player of the Year

Canadian Young Player of the Year

Beginning in 2018, the Canadian Soccer Association began awarding only one youth player of the year award for each gender to a U20 player. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was awarded to a U23 player instead. Until 2017, they had awarded two awards to each gender - one for a U17 and another for a U20 player.
