TORONTO - Montreal Victoire’s Kori Cheverie, Ottawa Charge’s Carla MacLeod and º£½ÇÉçÇø¹ÙÍøSceptres’ Troy Ryan have been named the finalists for the PWHL’s coach of the year.
Cheverie of New Glasgow, N.S., is a finalist for a second straight year after guiding the Victoire to first place with a 12-7-3-8 record (regulation wins, overtime wins, overtime losses, regulation losses).
Montreal held its first-place position since Jan. 29 with an offence that produced the second-most goals (77) and surrendered the fewest (67) in the PWHL.

MacLeod of Spruce Grove, Alta., guided Ottawa to its first-ever playoff berth with a 12-4-2-12 record and 44 points. The Charge sealed third place with a 2-1 overtime win over º£½ÇÉçÇø¹ÙÍøin the regular-season finale.
The Charge’s 12 regulation wins tied for the most in the league — four more than their inaugural total — despite having just two players among the PWHL’s top 20 scorers.
Ryan of Spryfield, N.S., is the reigning coach of the year. The second-place Sceptres (12-3-6-9) tied for the league lead with nine multi-goal wins, matched the longest win streak at six games (Feb. 1-23), and went unbeaten in nine straight (Jan. 25 to Feb. 23) to climb from last place to within two points of first.
