For New York City FC fans, the team’s transition from rocky start to complete Eastern Conference domination was a big one. For the rest of the league, however, NYCFC’s ascension to the top of the East seemed to be a bit more quiet.
Despite their silent dominance, three of NYCFC’s own have been named to the shortlist of some of the league’s most prestigious awards.
Héber — star forward and late addition to City’s current squad — has been nominated for Newcomer of the Year, Domé Torrent has been nominated for Coach of the Year, and netminder Sean Johnson has been nominated for Goalkeeper of the Year.
