Pat Surtain congratulates Cale Makar on Norris Trophy win
Colorado sports have been a haven for team and individual awards in recent years: the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche both won championships (Avs in 2022, Nuggets in 2023) and there have been several individual awards making their home in Denver.
Two of the most recent individual award winners are the Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain, who won Defensive Player of the Year and now, Cale Makar of the Colorado Avalanche winning his second James Norris Trophy as the NHL's best defenseman. Makar found out he won the Norris on Wednesday, and Surtain sent a short video message to Makar.
"What's going on, Cale! I want to give a huge congratulations from one defensive player of the year to another," said Surtain. "Congrats on another big award, congrats man."
Makar won the Norris Trophy in the 2021 season, the Conn Smyth in 2021 (MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs) and the Calder Memorial Trophy (Rookie of the Year) in 2019. Let's hope Surtain can join Makar as a championship winner for the Broncos in the very near future!
