The National Hockey League has chosen the winners of the best athletes in the league.
The NHL compiles the results of the previous season. The League held an award ceremony for the best players in various categories. Colorado forward Nathan MacKinnon received the Hart Trophy and the title of the best player of the season.
In addition, Nathan received the Ted Lindsay Award – the title of the best player according to League hockey players. MacKinnon scored 140 points in 82 games last season.

The best coach of the season was Rick Tocquette (Vancouver), and the title of the best defensive forward was taken by Alexander Barkov (Florida).
In addition, as part of the announcement of the results of the regular season, the NHL identified two symbolic top five players in the championship, as well as a team of the best rookies of the season.
And there was a scandal here. After all, two representatives of the aggressor country were included in the first team at the same time – Artemy Panarin and Nikita Kucherov. The NHL, once again neglecting terrorism from the Russian Federation, mentioned their hockey players.
