Kao Lin Ken, 22

Kao Lin Ken, the penuh-aksyen keeper of Innebandy! Co and national no. 1 goalie who comes for Frontliners training whenever he is down in Penang. This man practically lives, sleeps, and breathes floorball and, according to him, could not possibly live without it.
He became the Special Goalkeeping Coach for the club in April after Youthwave, and was a more familiar face in training than Frontliner Sharron Tan this year.
A player who brings in all the noise needed to training, this perky-to-the-point-of-annoying-likeable-attention-grabber was the one player who kept the Frontliners Spirit going when it burned low. No words need be said of his skill and talent between the posts other than because there is hardly anyone around that can measure up to him.
To bring him back down to earth, however, he does have weaknesses, one he confesses to himself. Prone to occasional lapses, he does let in goals from shots that any mediocre goalie should save. Maybe he saves himself for the spectaculars.

Verdict: For a visiting player from a rival club to get himself mentioned so many times in this blog, this player most definitely must be special. (7/10)
Play of the year: Check out the video in the blog in November. Saving Sasi's airhook is no mean feat, and getting it recorded on video makes that achievement even bigger.
Prediction for next season: Hopefully to continue coming for Frontliners training, because his presence benefits everyone around, but work would most probably take center stage next year.
