Toronto Sceptres News Release


OTTAWA, ON - Toronto Sceptres defender Renata Fast was named Defender of the Year at the 2025 PWHL Awards presented by Upper Deck today. Awarded at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Ottawa, Ontario, Fast was also selected as a First Team All-Star member and had been nominated for the Billie Jean King MVP Award as well.

Fast impacted the game at both ends of the ice with her offense, physicality and stability. She tied Sophie Jaques (Minnesota Frost, now on PWHL Vancouver) for first in scoring among defenders with 22 points in 30 games. She also led the league in two other skater categories with 63 hits, and time on ice at 739:45, averaging 24:39 per game.

Defender Allie Munroe was the Sceptres' recipient of the Intact Impact Award which was introduced this year. The award honours one player on each team who consistently went the extra mile to help the team and be a great teammate, displaying exceptional leadership, integrity, and an unwavering commitment. In recognition of their collective impact, Intact Insurance will donate $20,000 CAD to a charity that supports youth development.

Additionally, forward Daryl Watts was named to a Second Team All-Star alongside new Sceptres defender Ella Shelton for her 2024-25 season with the New York Sirens. Shelton was acquired during the 2025 PWHL Draft presented by Upper Deck, read more here.
