Connor Hellebuyck, The First Star This week, The Hockey News unveiled its annual top-100 list of the most powerful and influential people in hockey for 2025. Those in the Century Club are ranked in 14 categories of vocation. Many more powerbrokers are identified and profiled within these silos of expertise, from owners to executives to managers to players to media and more. That's all available to find in The Hockey News' Money and Power 2025 Hockey Business Annual [https://thehockeynews.store/products/print-subscription]. Although no Winnipeg Jets players found their way onto the list, two members of the front office staff did, those being executive chairman and alternate governor Mark Chipman and general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff. Chipman, the Jets' co-owner, comes it at No. 24 on the list - relatively high in comparison to other owners, at 10th of the 32 NHL clubs. Cheveldayoff, who has served as the Jets' general manager since the team came to Winnipeg, is ranked No. 42 on the list - very highly among others in management roles. He is the fourth-ranked GM in the league from its 32 teams. Despite Igor Shesterkin (No. 41 overall) and Marc-Andre Fleury (No. 83 overall) both being included on the list as goaltenders, Jets' backstop Connor Hellebuyck did not make the top-100 list. He is Winnipeg's highest-profile player and is on pace for his second-straight Vezina Trophy. A total of nine players were selected for the list.
