Melvyn Boivin

After overcoming the trauma of being banned from a ballroom dancing class for his unbridled intensity, this French midfielder channeled that energy into an explosive, acrobatic defensive game. He dominates the air with surprising majesty and hounds opponents with flamboyant aggression, even if his lack of top-end sprint speed occasionally lets him down. He is an indefatigable blocker whose exuberant style is every bit as lethal as his unstoppable leaping ability.
