The James Norris Memorial Trophy, or simply the Norris Trophy, is awarded every season to the LGHL's top "defense player who demonstrates throughout the season the greatest all-round ability in the position". It is named after James E. Norris, the longtime owner of the Detroit Red Wings. At the end of each season, members of the LGHL committee, as well as a community vote help decide the winner of this prestigious award. Therefore, I strongly encourage you all to vote for the finalist that you feel was the best defenseman for this season!

@LemeIin basically added a honorable mention section just to see himself and @Doughty x I8I in the thread
Doing these stats for EACH nominee took a very long time, so why not add all our research? It’s better than just deleting hours of work for nothing.
They were right in there for the award hence the shout-out. Letting the community see exactly what the committee saw when deliberating! Allows you as voters to make comparisons throughout the league instead of showing bare minimum.
Unfortunate I did not calculate your advanced stats, like SOS for example. You only had 22 GP. You do however have some great base stats and a nice record. If you played a few more games I would have definitely looked deeper into them
