Minnesota community hockey dominates 2025 NHL Draft
p Congratulations to the 17 Minnesotans selected in the 2025
NHL Entry Draft!
Minnesota continued to prove that community hockey produces more
athletes who play hockey longer and reach their full potential. There
were a total of 52 Americans drafted, and Minnesota's 17 accounted for
33% of all Americans drafted.
Congratulations to all the players, families, coaches and volunteers that
helped along the way!
Remember, hockey is a late-blooming sport. Many Minnesotans who
were never drafted have gone on to play in the NHL, like 2025 Stanley
Cup Champion and St. Cloud native Nate Schmidt!
