Quinn Hughes

On Thursday night, Hughes won the Norris Trophy as the best all-around defender in the NHL this season. Here's how he got here.

Hughes is the first Canucks defender in the 54-year history of the franchise to receive the award.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson won last year's Norris Trophy after a 25-goal, 101-point season in 2022-23.

The closer we get to the playoffs, the more angst there is to see Vancouver's top players operating at their best.

From excellent defensemen to surprise teams, these are the early-season storylines worth celebrating.

As a kid playing under the Friday Night Lights at the Canlan Sports complex, Hughes built the foundation of his game today.

Does the Canucks' Hughes, ranked in Tier 3B, deserve an upgrade now?

The foundation of Vancouver's game has looked strong after a so-so start. Here are observations and trends based on recent performances.

Hughes may have played the most complete game of his career in Vancouver's win over Florida. It's time his game got the respect it's due.

Naming Hughes captain is a sensible decision, but it's one that puts the onus on him and the leadership group to deliver this season.

In 2022-23, Hughes recorded seven goals and 69 assists in 78 games played. His 76 points ranked third among defensemen last season.

For a player not known for being vocal or particularly loquacious, Hughes' comfort was apparent on Fan Appreciation Night.

Quinn Hughes has matured into a leader after making an effort to improve as a player.

This Canucks team isn't good enough today, and the arrow is trending downward.

Perhaps it's a launching point for a team that's been listless and inconsistent this season; perhaps not.

The Canucks announced injuries to two important players, Monday.

Hughes entered protocol on Feb. 7 and is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Sharks.

The Hughes brothers have both recently signed long-term extensions with their NHL teams.
