Canadian and Montreal Victoire captain Marie-Philip Poulin has been voted as the 2025 IIHF Female Player of the Year.
Poulin, 34, received 33.1% of the vote. She's been a finalist in each of the three years of the award.
She was followed in voting by Gwyneth Philips (22.3%), Hilary Knight (20.2%), and Caroline Harvey (12.9%). Knight was the 2024 winner of the award, while Natalie Spooner won the inaugural honour.
Poulin, who the IIHF called "a perennial star with Canada" led the 2025 World Championships in scoring with 12 points in seven games this year. Her performance earned Poulin tournament MVP and Best Forward honours.
She was also the leading goal scorer in the PWHL this season recording 19 goals.
The future Hockey Hall of Famer is widely considered the best women's hockey player on the planet, which with this year's IIHF award rings true.
