Who is Most Likely to Win the Jack Adams Award 2025?
Betting odds point to Spencer Carberry, the Washington Capitals’ coach, accepting the Jack Adams Award in 2025.
Most NHL fans would never have guessed that the team would enter the top 10, but Carberry has helped the team enjoy much success on the ice this season.
Despite being one of the youngest coaches in the NHL at present, Carberry has seemingly become more comfortable in the coaching role during his second season. Thanks to his leadership, the team has become a serious contender for the Stanley Cup, and he’d be a worthy recipient of this year’s Jack Adams Award.
Of course, Dean Evason, the Columbus Blue Jackets coach, has managed various hurdles with professionalism throughout the season while ensuring the team’s performance didn’t falter.
Many fans have praised Evason for his management of player Johnny Gaudreau’s tragic death at the start of the season. Thanks to his team-first philosophy, the players have had the time needed to deal with their grief while excelling on the ice.
Moreover, Evason has helped the Blue Jackets bounce back from multiple injuries. As a result, the team could become the first wild card for the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
Who Has Received the Jack Adams Award the Most Times?
Pat Burns has received the Jack Adams Award more than any other coach, as he has picked up the accolade three times with the Montreal Canadiens (1988-89 season), the Toronto Maple Leafs (1992-93 season), and the Boston Bruins (1997-98 season).
Why Is It Called the Jack Adams Award?
The Jack Adams Award is named after the legendary Jack Adams, an NHL Hall of Famer.
The professional ice hockey player played for various teams, including the Toronto Arenas, Vancouver Millionaires, and the original Ottawa Senators.
Also, he served as the Detroit Red Wings coach and general manager for 36 years, helping the team win the Stanley Cup seven times, making him the only person to have won the trophy as a player, general manager, and coach.
