As I say every year once the playoffs are done, "Screw the NHL Hockey Awards, mine are the only ones that matter!" So without further ado, may I once more present --
DEBRA SHE WHO SEEKS'
2025 HOCKEY AWARDS
1. Best Sports Photojournalist of the Year
Toward the end of the regular season, The Rare One was gifted fabulous tix to an Edmonton Oilers home game -- ice level, front row seats, right beside the Oilers bench, can you imagine? She took this great shot of Connor McDavid and the other Oilers on her camera phone. She really captured his intensity!
2. Most Whimsical Rendition of a National Anthem
The clear winner in this category is The Harmonica Class from K-Town Senior & Community Center in Los Angeles, who performed the American National Anthem at the LA Kings home games in Round 1 of the playoffs. These ladies gave it everything they had and the crowd loved it!
3. Worst Pre-Game Opening Sequences
No one does eye-rollingly bad, over-the-top, goofy home game theatrics like the Vegas Golden Knights. Their gawdawful, Game of Thrones-ish parody of battling knights deserves the hardware in this category. What keeps this nonsense from being unwatchable? Simple --
It's cheesy.
They know it's cheesy.
They REVEL in its cheesiness.
4. Best Hockey-Related TV Ad
Hands down, no contest, the winner is the Penalty Box Commercial by Haribo Canada. I never tire of watching it. Giggle on, boys!
5. Hockey's Best Proud Ally Award
As always, this award goes to Gritty, mascot of the Philadelphia Flyers.

i just don't get sport..... i never understand any of it...... those haribo adverts must be worldwide..... we get a load them here..... sometimes it's police.... two guys fishing...... or two guys working in some office...... they are pretty funny and i enjoyed the ice hockey version.... very good
Gritty for president!
Yeah I don't know why they just don't scrap the other Awards and listen to you. I have lived in Philadelphia for 20 some years I will say their sports team and the city in general usually don't give two s**** what the rest of anyone else thinks. It's one city I think that truly Embraces everybody.
Go Gritty! And that Haribo ad is genius!
I do love the gummy bears ads and now I also adore Gritty!
...since I live in my own little cave, most of this is over my head!
I love your winners.
👏🫶 Harmonica Ladies! 🎶 What lungs, eh?! 😘
