IL Indoor Predicts: Top Player Awards for the 2025 NLL Season, Plus Outside the Box Predictions.

As the 2025 NLL season approaches, excitement builds around potential top player awards, with several athletes poised to make a major impact. The IL Indoor predictions provide a glimpse into who might rise to the occasion and claim the league’s prestigious honors.

Most Valuable Player (MVP): While the MVP race is always competitive, Dylan Ward (Colorado Mammoth) stands out as a strong contender. As one of the league’s top goalies, Ward’s ability to change the outcome of games with key saves could be the difference-maker for a Colorado team aiming for another championship run. His consistency and leadership in net make him a top pick for MVP.

Offensive Player of the Year (OPOTY): Expect Jeff Teat (Georgia Swarm) to continue his dominance in 2025. As one of the league’s most electrifying offensive players, Teat’s ability to put up points with ease—whether through assists or goals—keeps him in the conversation. His vision and creativity make him a game-changer every time he steps on the floor.

Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY): Bradley Voigt (San Diego Seals) is emerging as one of the league’s top defenders. His ability to shut down opposing shooters and force turnovers while contributing on offense makes him a complete player. Voigt’s mix of physicality and intelligence positions him as a potential DPOY winner.

Rookie of the Year: Ryan Lanchbury (Calgary Roughnecks) is expected to make an immediate impact. With a solid college career behind him, Lanchbury’s combination of offensive skills and adaptability could make him one of the season’s breakout stars.

Outside the Box Prediction: Look for Challen Rogers (Toronto Rock) to not only lead his team in defensive metrics but also contribute heavily in transition, making him a sleeper for an all-league selection, despite playing a less glamorous position.
