2025 Norris Winner: Cale Makar (Colorado Avalanche)

Unfortunately for the rest of the NHL, Cale Makar has continued to elevate his game. During the 2023-24 season, Makar posted a career-high 90 points with 69 assists and 21 goals. Not to mention, the Avalanche star also recorded a career-high 148 blocks, as his previous career-high was 110, so with numbers like that, it was unsurprising to see him open as the favorite across the board. Throughout the 2024-25 season, that dominance continued, as Makar finished with a new-career high in points with 92, while ranking 8th in the league with 62 assists.

The elevation of Makar's scoring ability is going to make winning this award incredibly difficult for the rest of the defensemen in the league. Not only was 92 points a new career high, but so was his 30 goals and 12 power-play goals. Not to mention, Makar also finished with the second-best +\- of his career at (+28).

Thus, on June 11, Cale Makar was announced as the recipient of the Norris Trophy 2024-25 winner. The now two-time NHL Best Defenceman Award winner has been a Norris Trophy finalist a total of fifth times already in just his first six NHL seasons.
