SELECTION COMMITTEE & AWARDS VOTING

The 2025 PWHL awards selection committee featured a cross-section of representatives and a weighted model for tabulating votes:

  • 50% of voting points to media across North America, including in the six team markets
  • 25% of voting points to PWHL General Managers and Head Coaches
  • 15% of voting points to PWHL broadcast talent
  • 10% of voting points to the PWHLPA

The selection committee submitted their ballots between the conclusion of the regular-season and the commencement of the playoffs. Voters were asked to submit their top three choices for each award, with five points awarded for a first-place vote, three points for a second-place vote, and one point for a third-place vote. Media members were provided ballots in consultation with the Women’s Chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers Association.
