The only major PWHL award Tuesday night won by a non-Boston player was Minnesota’s Kelly Pannek, who earned forward of the year honors.
Pannek, 30, also took home the league’s Points Leader and Top Goal Scorer awards after pacing the league with 16 goals and a PWHL single-season record 33 points in 30 games for Minnesota.
The Boston Fleet dominated the PWHL awards, led by Aerin Frankel who earned the Billie Jean King MVP trophy and goalie of the year honors. The 27-year-old Frankel set a PWHL record with eight shutouts and finished tied with Montreal’s Ann-Renee Desbiens in setting another league mark with 19 wins.
The Fleet nearly swept the awards, with Megan Keller earning defender of the year honors. Boston’s Kris Sparre was voted coach of the year following his first season with the Fleet. And Fleet defender Haley Winn, the second pick in the draft last year, was the league’s rookie of the year.
