I have some spare time between Championships down at the X… This list is my starting point for 2026 Mr. Hockey. I’ll be adding to it during the off season. While rumors are already circulating about players potentially leaving early, I’ll hold off on making any assumptions, until they’re not on the ice for Game 1 of next season, I’m expecting them to return for another shot.
