Overview
- The NHL announced the 2025–26 All‑Rookie Team on Friday, June 12, 2026, naming Ivan Demidov, Beckett Sennecke, Jimmy Snuggerud, Matthew Schaefer, Alexander Nikishin and Jakub Dobes.
- The Professional Hockey Writers Association used one point per ballot with 195 voters, and the published totals produced clear margins across positions.
- Ivan Demidov was the only unanimous selection with all 195 votes and led rookies with 62 points in 82 games while Matthew Schaefer was a near‑unanimous pick with 194 votes and earlier won the Calder Trophy.
- Jakub Dobes earned the goaltender spot after a 29‑10‑4 regular season with a 2.78 goals‑against average and .901 save percentage, and notable vote-getters who missed the team included Jesper Wallstedt, Ryan Leonard and Zeev Buium.
- The votes and stat lines underline immediate lineup roles for these players and suggest the Canadiens, Islanders and Hurricanes have young cores to build around, which could shape roster moves and expectations next season.
