For a second-consecutive season, University of Minnesota Duluth women's hockey junior goaltender Ève Gascon has been named a Hockey Commissioners Association Women's Hockey Goalie of the Year Finalist. 

Gascon, who was named the 2025-26 WCHA Goaltender of the Year Wednesday -- an award she has now held for the past two seasons, was last week named to the All-WCHA First Team. Currently the HCA Goaltender of the Month for February, she was a two-time WCHA Goaltender of the Month and was six-times named the WCHA's Goaltender of the Week this season. The Mascouche, Quebec native was the 2025-26 WCHA Statistical Goaltending Champion after posting a league-high .943 saves percentage in league games and led the conference with 10 shutouts – the second most in all of the NCAA – and seven in WCHA play.  Gascon – named the WCHA's Goaltender of the Month for February Monday after having a monster month, owned a 1.79 goals against average over all her 34 games started, and she played the most minutes in the league (2,013:44) and posted the second most saves (957). Gascon also averaged 29.7 saves per game this season.

While Gascon is now a two-time finalist and Emma Soderberg was finalist in 2023, UMD has never had an HCA Goalie of the Year winner. The award was first awarded in 2021.
