The Top 25 Under 25 is a collaboration by Mile High Hockey staff members. Six writers have ranked players under the age of 25 in the Colorado Avalanche organization as of September 1, 2025. Now, we’ll count down each of the 25 players ranked (plus one Honorable Mention).
Well, that’s a wrap on the 2025 version of our countdown. We were able to profile all 26 players in the Avalanche organization and hopefully there will be more additions to next year’s list.
Kudos to our biggest mover Nikita Prishchepov who went from an unranked tie at 29th all the way to 7th in 2025. Apologies to the newly signed prospect defenseman Alex Gagne who would have been eligible for the list but he signed after we entered the top 15. We’ll get one more year of eligibility from him and rank Gagne next year.
Did the countdown turn out how you expected. Please let us know in the comments any surprise or predictions on next year’s biggest mover. Please share your own list if you have one!
