Abbotsford Canucks captain Chase Wouters has been named a finalist for the 2025-26 Yanick Dupré Memorial Award. Players are nominated by their team for their outstanding contributions to the local community and charitable organizations during the 2025-26 season. Every organization has one nominee for the trophy, as each finalist won their team's IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year award. This year is the fourth consecutive season that Wouters has been the Canucks nominee. He has been the captain since 2022 and ranks first in games played for the organization at 336.
