Quick answer

What are hockey team superlatives?

Hockey team superlatives are player award categories used to recognize teammates for personality, performance, effort, humour, leadership, and memorable moments. They can be serious, funny, youth friendly, beer league specific, or turned into custom puck awards.

A normal hockey award usually recognizes what a player did. A superlative recognizes who they were on the team. That is why superlatives are so useful for end of season hockey awards, team banquets, beer league nights, youth hockey recognition, social posts, and custom puck awards.

For the broader hockey awards system. Including banquet awards, coach appreciation, beer league hockey awards, funny hockey awards, fantasy loser awards, and puck messages. Start with the Ultimate Hockey Awards & Superlatives Guide.

Recognize what they do

For personality

Recognize who they are

Use Locker Room MVP, Best Chirper, Biggest Beauty, Best Flow, or Most Likely To Be Late.
