Steven Tay, 27(2002-present)

Glamorous (check out the shoes). Steven Tay, the final one of the three ancient dinosaurs who were there when it all began. Ex-coach and current so-called 'wise man' of the club, it was he who first introduced Jason and Kuan Yang to the game, bringing them up until this year when he handed the club over to Jason's reliable hands. He is both the Equipment Manager and the Transport Minister for the club, good ones at that, too.
An extremely versatile player, he currently plays in defence for the club. His control betters that of SanJeevan, and he is a very calm person on the court. Up to now, he is the only person who can do an airhook well and pretty. Injuries this year caused him to miss the first two tournaments, but he was able to re-join the club before Dalat League, though he has somewhat mellowed down a little.

Verdict: Though injured, he was seen a lot more times in training than some others who remained injury-free the whole year. Top marks for his dedication. (7.5/10)
Play of the year: His superb performance in defence in Dalat League against Dalat 1, shutting out their attackers and marshalling the defence.
Prediction for next season: Look out for his full return to the floorballing scene as he shakes off what remains of his injury and spearheads the Frontliners return to the top.
