This award goes to the head coach who is considered to have demonstrated the highest number of significant accomplishments over the course of the season as voted by the conference's head coaches.
This honor is awarded by the head coaches to a player from those nominated for consideration, which was renamed the Cammi Granato Player of the Year Award in the fall of 2008. The player receiving this recognition has demonstrated superior play and leadership for her team.
Granato had a legendary four-year career at Providence College, establishing many scoring records for the Friars (139 goals in 99 games). Granato also took home individual honors in all four seasons in her career with Providence. She captured ECAC Player of the Year honors in three consecutive years from 1991-93, while leading the team to back-to-back conference titles in 1992 and 1993. Granato was also named ECAC Rookie of the Year in 1990. A 15-year member of the U.S. Women’s National Team beginning in 1990, Granato is the program’s all-time scoring leader. Granato achieved international fame by captaining Team USA to the gold medal at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games.
