Leonardo Genoni has been selected as the 2025 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship MVP, as voted by the accredited media. The Swiss goalie posted four shutouts in the tournament. Genoni is now the third Swiss player to be named MVP – and the first goaltender – after defenseman Roman Josi got the honor in 2013, and forward Kevin Fiala last year.
 
This is also the first time a Swiss player has been named the MVP in two consecutive Ice Hockey World Championships.
 
The media also voted for the All-Star Team, which includes two Swiss players and one each from Czechia, Denmark, Sweden, and the United States.
