PWHL Hands Out Year End Awards, Spooner Named MVP

The PWHL capped off their inaugural 2024 season handing out individual accolades at the first PWHL Awards in Minnesota.

The PWHL handed out their year end awards at a gala in Minnesota Tuesday afternoon. Here's a look at each of the award winners. Natalie Spooner took a haul of awards earning the league's leading scorer, top goal scorer, Best Forward, and MVP honors.

"Here we are today, and my dream has come true, and first of all it's because so many of you out there," Natalie Spooner said.

"Personally I've always loved finding ways to score goals," Spooner said while receiving the leading scorer and top goal scorer awards. "I really want to thank my coaches I've had in the past and have now that have allowed me to express myself as an offensive player while continuing to develop my 200-foot game. The fact of the matter is without my amazing teammates, this award like this would not be possible so I've got to give a big kudos to my team for all the nice passes and all the setups."

Spooner led the league in goals with 20 and points with 27.
