Here’s the latest on the 2025 NHL Awards based on the most recent reporting I can reference.
- The 2025 NHL Awards show took place in June 2025, with Connor Hellebuyck winning both the Vezina Trophy (top goaltender) and the Hart Trophy (MVP) for the 2024-25 season. This marked Hellebuyck’s third Vezina and his first Hart win.[2][4]
- Other winners included Cale Makar taking the Norris Trophy (top defenseman) and Nikita Kucherov contesting for top honors in multiple categories during the season, though the Norris winner was Makar according to post-ceremony reports.[4][2]
- The awards event was broadcast as a one-hour special hosted in the United States on TNT and in Canada on Sportsnet, and included live reveals of several major trophies for the 2024-25 season.[5]
- Finalists and awards were also discussed in advance of the ceremony, with outlets like USA Today and Pro Hockey Rumors outlining the expected contenders across Hart, Vezina, Norris, and Ted Lindsay (and others) ahead of the announcements.[1][2]
- An official NHL Awards Information Guide for 2025 provides detailed criteria and names associated with the various awards for the season.[6]
Illustration: A single-season awards breakdown typically lists MVP (Hart), best goaltender (Vezina), best defenseman (Norris), best rookie (Calder), best coach (Jack Adams), and sportsmanship/character awards (Ted Lindsay, Masterton, Lady Byng), with finalists announced in the weeks leading up to the ceremony.[3][7][2]
Would you like a concise table of the 2024-25 award winners and finalists, or a link to the official 2025 Awards Guide for exact criteria and voting details? I can also pull up a quick recap of the main trophy winners and each winner’s key achievements from that season.
