Joining Scheifele and Hellebuyck on the First Team are two familiar names in the franchise’s history – Blake Wheeler and Ilya Kovalchuk. Wheeler, a top scorer for the Jets, has been a consistent force on the ice, leading by example and setting the standard for his teammates. Kovalchuk, a former Jet who made a lasting impact during his time with the team, continues to be recognized for his contributions to the franchise.
The Second Team lineup features a mix of seasoned veterans and up-and-coming talent, including standout defenseman Josh Morrissey and skilled forward Kyle Connor. These players have proven themselves on the ice time and time again, earning their spots on the Quarter-Century Team roster.
The selection process for these prestigious teams was no easy feat, with broadcasters, national writers, local writers, and NHL.com writers all weighing in on the decision.
