GACOTTAWA - Atletico Ottawa’s Ollie Bassett won both the ºÃÉ«tv Premier League Player of the Year and the inaugural Players' Player of the Year awards on Friday.

Carducci, who also won the award in 2019, missed the first three games of the season after a diagnosis of testicular cancer but returned to post 10 shutouts in 24 appearances for Cavalry.
