Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won his second Northern Star award as Canadian athlete of the year after a pretty okay 2025 (NBA All Star, NBA Champion, NBA Finals MVP and NBA regular season MVP). This is the third time a basketball player wins the Northern Star (Steve Nash had previously won it).
Reportedly other serious contenders were Summer McIntosh, Rachel Homan, Sophie de Goede and Camryn Rogers.
