As the PWHL season winds down, awards season starts to ramp up. In its augural season, the PWHL introduced 10 awards.

Two of the 10 are based on stats - points leader and top goal scorer. One is based on off-ice activities, the Community Leadership Award which the league says will be "awarded to the player whose leadership extends beyond the ice to foster positive change in the community." One is based on playoff play, the Ilana Kloss Playoff MVP Award - which is named after one of the league's founding Advisory Board members - will be "awarded to the player considered most valuable to their team’s success throughout the playoffs."

The final six are regular season awards, and those six are ones TIG figuratively gathered around virtual roundtable to give our thoughts on who will win each.

In the first portion of the our roundtable, our team shares their thoughts on who will win the Billie Jean King MVP, Rookie of the Year, and the Coach of the Year.
