Two Years Later, Fox to Battle Makar for Another Major Award
It's been a long and winding road for New York Rangers' defenseman Adam Fox, but he proved multiple former teams wrong this season, and could be rewarded for it.
It was announced earlier today that Fox was a finalist for the James Norris Memorial Trophy, given to the NHL's best defenseman. Fox joins 2018 award winner Victor Hedman, as two of the three defenders considered the best by the NHL.
Also nominated for the award is Cale Makar, current defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche, and fellow former NCAA hockey alum and Massachusetts school brethren of Adam Fox. As it turns out, this isn't the first time Fox and Makar have been in the final three for a major award.
