Jun 25 PWHL 2025 Awards - Defender of the Year - Renata Fast

Congratulations to client Renata Fast in earning her first Defender of the Year award from the Professional Women’s Hockey League at the 2025 PWHL Awards at the Hard Rock Casino & Hotel In Ottawa, ON.

Renata’s season with the Toronto Sceptres was special and she led or tied 8 defender categories and 5 league wide categories as well.

At the same time, congratulations to PWHL Walter Cup Champions Sophie Jaques and Claire Thompson for their efforts this season. For Sophie she earned her 2nd Walter Cup and on the final day of the regular season with a multi-point effort in a playoff clinching game in Boston, she tied Renata for the league lead in defender points equalling her league record by a defender. Claire in her first full season in the PWHL (she had been a reserve for NY in season 1 while attending NYU Medical School) had a tremendous campaign with the Frost.

A native of Washington, D.C. but a transplant resident to the City of Los Angeles since 1991. I have held positions with the National Hockey League, Los Angeles Kings and XTRA Sports 1150 Sports Radio Los Angeles in the past.

Today, I own a boutique firm that represents Olympic & Paralympic athletes from the United States & Canada as well as Professional Women’s Hockey League players. I have represented these athletes since 2005 and eventually helping some of them transition to broadcasting beyond their playing days.

I am passionate about helping these athletes today and what is beyond for them in the real world. At the same time, if they want my assistance with things like Gender Equitable treatment or I see a wrong that happens where someone from the outside needs to step up and say "hey we need to look at that here" I am usually all-in to help my clients out.
