Caroline Harvey was named the most valuable player of the Olympic women’s hockey tournament after leading the scoring. The American defender also received the Best Defender award and a place on the media-selected All-Star Team announced after the final in Milan.
Switzerland’s Andrea Braendli earned Best Goaltender, and Canada captain Marie-Philip Poulin received Best Forward. Poulin had returned from injury to score in the quarter-final and supplied both goals in Canada’s semi-final victory over Switzerland on the route to silver.
Harvey and Braendli were joined in the All-Star selection by American defender Laila Edwards, forwards Hannah Bilka and Poulin, and Switzerland’s Alina Muller. The awards recognised performances across the completed tournament, with bronze-medal Switzerland providing two members of the six-player media team.
