With one week left to the Final in the Champions Hockey League, it’s time for the final round in the NordicBet MVP Trophy, the award that honours the most valuable player in the CHL. Europe’s hockey fans have, after a couple of weeks of voting, nominated three finalists that are now fighting for the trophy.
