💨 Abstract
The New York Islanders selected defenseman Matthew Schaefer first in the 2025 NHL draft. Schaefer, a 17-year-old from Hamilton, Ontario, has excelled despite personal tragedies, including the loss of his mother to cancer. The San Jose Sharks picked high-scoring forward Michael Misa second, and the Chicago Blackhawks selected Swedish forward Anton Frondell third. The draft lacked a definitive top prospect but featured strong talent.
