The Hockey Commissioners Association has announced the final women’s hockey monthly honors for the 2024-25 season.
Wisconsin’s Kirsten Simms is player of the month, while Minnesota’s Chloe Primerano is rookie of the month and Wisconsin’s Ava McNaughton is goaltender of the month.
Simms’ line of 6-6-12 in six games is reason enough to be this month’s top women’s honoree. But the details are even better: scored GTG on a penalty shot in closing seconds of NCAA championship and then added the OT GWG to give the Badgers their eighth national title under coach Mark Johnson.
Primerano went 1-7-8 with two assists coming in the 3-2 win over Colgate in the regional final.
This year’s National Goalie of the Year, McNaughton was a perfect 6-0-0 in March, leading the Badgers to the NCAA championship. She had numbers of 1.87 and .923 against five ranked teams.
