For the second straight Olympic year, Les Canadiennes defender Cathy Chartrand took home the award for CWHL defenceman of the year.
“’I don’t think I’ll be playing four years from now,” said Chartrand, laughing, about the prospects of winning again in 2022. She previously won the award in the 2013-14 season.
The CWHL’s all-time leading scoring defender had another solid year for Montreal this season. She led the team’s defenders with five goals and 18 assists in 28 games this season. She was third among CWHL defenders.
“I’m not getting any younger and the league is getting faster and faster,” said Chartrand who is 36 years old.
