Simply overjoyed for Zach Werenski, winner of the 2026 Norris Trophy in his 10th @NHL season with the @BlueJacketsNHL.
One of the 100 greatest Wolverines in @umichhockey history, Werenski notched 20G + 41A across 71 games. An All-American & B1G champion, Z is a Michigan legend.
The @NHL's best defenseman this year, Zach Werenski, had this to say about Coach Naurato back in 2021:
"I've trusted (Nar) for about seven years," (it's 12 now) "I just feel like every year I get into the season & I'm ready to go."

Michigan men have won 2 of the last 3 Norris trophies!
This year's winner, Olympic champ Zach Werenski, called Coach Naurato "the 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐲 I have ever met in hockey."
Great timing if there's a big-time D prospect touring U-M in the coming weeks..
Zach Werenski joins some elite company after picking up his first Norris Trophy! 💪 #NHLAwards
He's also the first @BlueJacketsNHL defenseman to win the award!
@NewJackConk yes you operate in a false reality which is weird — and you are really having a hard time comprehending the whole algorithm thing. I didn’t realize M/MSU accounts stuck to their own and never interacted. That’s news to me.
Google the 9 lol - nah just calling a spade a spade.
And with that, Landon DuPont's draft-minus-1 season comes to a close
Final totals:
• Regular season: 73PTS in 63GP
• Playoffs: 23PTS in 18GP
• Memorial Cup: 6PTS in 4GP
He'll now make college campus visits before deciding on his immediate future.
