Vicky Sunohara of the University of Toronto Varsity Blues earned national coach of the year honours as announced at the 2020 U SPORTS women's hockey awards gala on Wednesday night in Charlottetown, PEI.
 
"This award is a testament to the commitment and hard work of Vicky and her staff in building a program of excellence on and off the ice said Beth Ali, U of T's executive director of athletics and physical activity. "This year's team put together an incredible run this season and we're excited to see what they can do in PEI this weekend."
 
In her ninth season with the Blues, Sunohara guided Toronto to their first OUA McCaw Cup championship title since 2002-03 this season. She is only the second U of T coach to earn the national honour after Karen Hughes in 2000-01.
 
The two-time Olympic gold medalist helped the Blues to an OUA-best 17-4-1-2 record, which was their best record under her tenure.
 
U of T boasted the top-ranked powerplay (20.2%), while ranking third in penalty killing (91.1%).
