Tim Melia: Sporting KC's all-time leader in regular-season wins and shutouts, Melia was a dominant force for a decade. He was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2017 and is renowned as one of the best penalty-kick stoppers in MLS history, with a perfect 7-0 record in professional penalty shootouts.
-
John Pulskamp: The next generation of Sporting KC goalkeeping is represented by John Pulskamp, the current man between the posts. Pulskamp is a product of the club's academy, and represents the future of the position for Sporting KC.
