Since the Vancouver Canucks have finished the season, that means that it’s time for the team to announce the awards for the team. This includes awards like most valuable player, best defenseman, and more.
Filip Hronek won two awards at the end of the year. He won both the Cyclone Taylor trophy for most valuable player, and the Walter Pratt trophy for the best defenceman on the team.
Since Quinn Hughes was traded earlier in the year, it has opened the door for Filip to win the Walter Pratt trophy. In fact, this year was the first time that he had received votes for either award, and ended up winning both of them for the team.
He led all Canucks defencemen in points and ice time this year, with 48 points and an average time on ice of twenty four minutes and fifty nine seconds. Both measurements were career highs for Filip. He also represented Czechia at the 2026 Winter Olympics, where he registered five points in five games.
Zeev Buium won an award as well. In his first season with the Vancouver Canucks, he received the Pavel Bure Award for being the most exciting player on the ice for the team. Though harder to measure in actual metrics, but his time on ice and explosive plays is not to be discounted in the slightest.

As a rookie winning the award, he joins some pretty good company. Some of the other players that have won the same award as a rookie recently are Brock Boeser from the 2017-2018 season, and Elias Pettersson from the 2018-2019 season.
For the Fred J. Hume Award, the winner was Drew O’Connor. Coming off of his first full year with the team, he set a new career-high seventeen goals, and hit the 100-point mark on his career during a game against the Florida Panthers on March 14th, 2026, and that includes two shorthanded goals.
Despite a down season, Elias Pettersson won the Cyrus H. McLean trophy for being the team’s leading scorer. He led the team this year with 49 points through 72 games, including 11 multi-point outings and 10 power play assists on the year. He also hit the 200 goal, 300 assist and 500 point milestones this year to cap everything off.
Finally, Brock Boeser won both the Three Stars Award, and the Daniel & Henrik Sedin Community Award. Brock was selected seven times this season as one of the three stars after a game. He hit the 20-goal plateau this year for the seventh time, joining seven other players from the 2015 draft class.
He also showed community effort and outreach towards the Vancouver community. He had donated tickets to every home game to the BC Children’s Hospital or Parkinson Society BC, as he has done for the past five years through his ticket program Boeser’s Beauties. This isn’t the first time he’s won this award, winning it for the first time after the 2022-2023 season.
