Before we award the Stevens, I would like to congratulate Aaron Wilson on winning the Sergei Karpotsov award for most points. He scored 75 points this season! Congrats @aaronwilson

The Scott Stevens award is given each season to the league's best defensemen. Last season we saw Chicago's hard-nosed defensemen Parker Smeb take home the award after a dominating season on both ends of the ice. This year's nominees are:

Karlstrasse Scholz is out first nomination fresh off of a Biscuit loss earlier in the evening. Scholz put up over a point per game this season finishing with 12 goals and 54 points for the Blizzard.

Parker Smeb is back fresh off his win last season. Smeb came in again with his great, tough play putting up 256 hits to go along with 42 points for Chicago.

Last this season is Poopity Scoop of the Buffalo Stampede. Winner of the S53 Stevens award, Scoop was the top defender on a dynamite Buffalo defensive core putting up 40 points, 115 hits and good advanced numbers.
