The Best Defense Award in the Flying Farangs Hockey League honors the player who has shown exceptional skill, consistency, and awareness in the defensive side of the game. This award recognizes the importance of strong defensive play—shutting down opponents, making smart decisions, and providing stability for the team.

Unlike stats-based awards, the Best Defense Award is selected by the league’s executive committee, who carefully evaluate each player’s overall impact, leadership, and reliability throughout the season.

This award is proudly sponsored by HQ Proshop, supporting those who excel in the art of defense and contribute to their team’s success in ways that go beyond the scoresheet.

2026 – Avita “August” Pothong of the Ratchada Reapers was selected for the Best Defensive player for her great play throughout the 2026 season.
