We’ve reached the championship match-up in the 2024-25 NCHC Play of the Year Tournament, with the final round of fan voting now available on Monday. The championship pits a pair of overtime game-winners against each other.
Squaring off in the final match-up is Omaha forward Cameron Mitchell, who scores the overtime game-winner against Holy Cross with a nice deke at the 2025 Cactus Cup in Week 12, going up against Western Michigan forward Alex Bump, who makes a strong defensive play and snipes a goal in double overtime to win the 2025 Frozen Faceoff for the Broncos against Denver.
Winning our second semifinal on Friday was WMU’s Bump, who advanced past Arizona State forward Artem Shlaine with 57 percent of the more than 1,100 votes cast.
Video of today’s championship match-up is below with the poll to vote below the video. Voting will remain open until Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. CT, with the Play of the Year winner announced shortly after on social media and NCHChockey.com.
