Angela James Bowl

The Angela James Bowl was introduced in 2007-08 to recognize the top points scorer in the newly-formed Canadian Women's Hockey League. The trophy was named in honour of Angela James, a former women's hockey star. The Angela James Bowl was donated by magazine publisher and hockey writer Richard Scott. Jennifer Botterill of the Mississauga Chiefs won the scoring title in 2007-08. Jayna Hefford of the Brampton Canadette-Thunder won the scoring title in 2008-09.

At the international level, she won four-straight gold medals at the IIHF Women’s World Championships, leading Canada with 34 points after those first four IIHF tournaments.
