The 2013 season continues to be a magical one for Magic Mike.

MLS on Thursday announced that Chicago Fire forward Mike Magee was voted the 2013 Volkswagen MLS Most Valuable Player and will receive his award in a formal presentation in Kansas City, site of MLS Cup 2013.

The 29-year-old enjoyed by far the best season of his career, scoring 21 goals, good for second in the league as well as a personal best. A midseason trade from the LA Galaxy to his hometown Chicago Fire only added to his hot streak -- after bagging six goals with the defending MLS Cup champs, he netted 15 in 22 games with the Fire.

Magee's weighted vote total (98.81) beat out two established international goalscorers -- his former Galaxy teammate Robbie Keane (58.56) and Montreal top scorer Marco Di Vaio (35.42). He becomes only the second player to win the award from a team that didn't make the postseason after Dwayne De Rosario in 2011.
