Nick Suzuki wins Frank J. Selke Trophy

sportsJun 5, 202622451

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki won the 2025-26 Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward. The league announced Suzuki as the Selke winner today, and at the awards ceremony teammate Cole Caufield presented Suzuki with the trophy after Suzuki had earlier handed Caufield the Lady Byng. The honor recognizes Suzuki's elite two-way play and leadership and cements his status as the Canadiens' defensive anchor heading into next season.

This is so awesome. Habs asked Suzuki to surprise Caufield with the Lady Bing while asking Caufield to surprise Suzuki with the Frank Selke award. 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bso6...

Nice touch for sure… and couldn’t be more fitting that they both win one at the same time, 100 pts don’t happen without 50 goals & vice versa :)

After passing up strong Canadiens candidates for the Jack Adams, Jim Gregory and Norris trophies, the voters award Suzuki the Selke and Caufield the Lady Byng. But Hutson should have been no worse than third in the Norris voting, St. Louis second in the Jack Adams and Kent Hughes a lock as best GM.

You're missing the better question: Who were the 7 people that didn't have him on their ballot at all?
