TSN Hockey analyst Cheryl Pounder shares who she thinks will be named PWHL coach of the year, and who will take home the Billie Jean King MVP award.
We’re entering the final week of the PWHL regular season, last week the league announced its list of awards for players, so we’re going to ask you about some of your picks for the end of season trophies.Well these are tough, but my goaltender of the year is going to go to PWHL Toronto’s Kristen Campbell.Listen, she didn’t start off strong to start the season, one win in five games, and then went on an 11-game winning streak.
Of course we have to ask you about the blueliners, so do you think is going to win defender of the year?Well, there’s a number of defenders that I looked at, but I kept coming back to Boston’s Megan Keller.I mean, she is just a great transitional skater, but it’s what she does at both ends of the ice, playing over 25 minutes, on average, a game.
She has fourteen points and 50 shots on goal and will be used in absolutely every situation, so she was heavily relied upon for a 200-foot game to provide offence as well as defence.I’m going with PWHL Montreal’s Kori Cheverie, as her first head coaching position in a professional environment, she really has made a difference.She is tied for first place with Toronto, but also when I look at her I say, listen she started with an open slate.
She wasn’t taken as one of their top three players in free agency, but she has been their best player.
