Before the top two teams in the league take to the ice this weekend, the CWHL's best will be honored in the league's end-of-season awards ceremony, to be held Friday evening at the Brookstreet Hotel in Ottawa.
The nominees were announced Feb. 25 (check here for my post on Elana Lovell being nominated for Rookie of the Year). Here's a refresher, annotated with my highly unimportant thoughts on who should win. Enjoy.
Rookie of the Year:
- Katia Clement-Heydra, Les Canadiennes de Montreal
- Elana Lovell, Calgary Inferno
- Rebecca Vint, Brampton Thunder
All three have proven to be immensely valuable to their clubs, but while Lovell started off the season hot and cooled down toward playoffs, Vint stepped up and helped carry her team down to the wire against Calgary in the semis.
