Defining a Superstar: Breaking Down What It Means to Be One in Today's NHL.

John Shannon and Daren Millard take a step back on 100% Hockey to examine what truly defines a superstar in today’s NHL. The two dig into the qualities that separate elite players from the rest — skill, consistency, leadership, and the ability to elevate a team — and debate how that definition has evolved in the modern game.

They compare standout performances from around the league, highlight emerging talent, and talk about how today’s generation of players is reshaping hockey culture — from on-ice creativity to the way celebrations and personality are finding their place in the sport.
