EA Sports has officially revealed the prestigious winners of the NHL 25 Team of the Year (TOTY), recognizing the standout performances of elite athletes so far this season.
With a rigorous selection process, this year’s TOTY comprises twelve exceptional players, equally divided between viable offensive and defensive talents from both the NHL and the PWHL. This year, the nominees were whittled down from over 20 remarkable candidates, showcasing immense skill and prowess on the ice.

Offensive Winners

The offensive side of the TOTY features phenomenal talents such as:

  • Connor McDavid (Edmonton Oilers)
  • Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche)
  • Nikita Kucherov (Tampa Bay Lightning)
  • Natalie Spooner (Toronto Sceptres)
  • Marie-Philip Poulin (Montreal Victoire)
  • Taylor Heise (Minnesota Frost)

Defensive Winners

On the defensive front, the following players have made their mark:

  • Cale Makar (Colorado Avalanche)
  • Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets)
  • Erin Ambrose (Montreal Victoire)
  • Megan Keller (Boston Fleet)
  • Kristen Campbell (Toronto Sceptres)

As a testament to their achievements, all TOTY winners will receive exclusive in-game gear sets. Additionally, their HUT cards will possess significantly higher growth potential compared to their nominee variations and carry six times the trade value in winner trade sets. Players are strongly encouraged to utilize these prized cards rather than keep them idle.

During the ongoing TOTY celebration, players logging into NHL 25’s HUT will be greeted with a free TOTY login pack each day of the event, redeemable in the in-game store.

Also coinciding with the existing festivities is the 4-Nations Face-Off event, allowing players to team up and earn bonus XP and unique rewards. Engage with your favorite players and strategies in this exciting format to celebrate both virtual and real-world hockey adventures!
