NHL launches quarter-century team fan voting to run through April 1

The NHL announced Wednesday that fans will be able to take part in the NHL Quarter-Century Team Fan Vote, listing the top 25 players in the last 25 years.

“The Fan Vote marks the second phase of the NHL Quarter-Century Team celebration during the 2024-25 season, following the reveal of each Club’s First and Second Quarter-Century Teams over the past six weeks,” the league said in a press release. “The players named to each Club’s First Team are eligible for selection in the Fan Vote, 191 stars in all.”

“The top 25 players, regardless of position, in the Fan Vote will comprise the NHL Quarter-Century Team presented by SAP and be revealed later in the spring,” the league said. “NHL Productions also will produce four debate-style studio shows around the players and highlights of the last 25 years, with the shows scheduled to be released in March.”

The league says fans can vote two ways:

1. At NHL.com/vote
   • Fans can vote for 10 players per ballot and cast up to 10 ballots per day
2. On social media platform X, using the hashtag #NHLQCTeam AND one of the following:
   • Full player name (with or without spaces)
   • Player #firstandlastname
   • Player’s Handle on X (Common misspellings will be counted. Reposts will count the same as native posts).

“The Quarter-Century Teams for each Club were selected by a panel of media, retired players and executives specific to that Club, based on statistics of games played between Jan. 1, 2000 and Dec. 31, 2024,” the league said.

The 4 Nations Face-Off kicks off Wednesday in Montreal, as Canada takes on Sweden, then the U.S. faces Finland on Thursday.
