As we move through the offseason towards the 2026 season, we take a look back at some of the top statistical performers, team and individual, from the 2025 season.

The game has changed drastically in terms of rules and the lengths of games, making it challenging to compare the 2020s to the 2010s. Despite these changes, some remarkable feats stood out in 2025, marking the sport's evolution from fast-paced, high-risk play to a more calculated, strategic approach.

This evolution can be credited to a range of factors. The current players possess superior skills and athleticism, the rules have changed, and coaches have become more effective strategists. In 2025, improved defenses and focused offenses led teams to take better care of the disc, reflecting the sport’s ongoing tactical development.

Here are 14 stats that speak to those trends:

Noah Coolman’s 20/20/20 season

A 20 assist, goal, and block season has been an anomaly in recent years. The last time that the feat was accomplished was by Ben Jagt in 2021, when he put up 55 assists, 63 goals, and 20 blocks. Before that, there were six of those seasons in 2018, but that was when the game was a bit faster-paced. Coolman’s 26 assists, 24 goals, and 24 blocks last year with Colorado were impressive, and he has a real shot of repeating that feat in 2026 with the Minnesota Wind Chill.

Daan De Marrée’s historic pace

De Marrée was the cornerstone of the 12-0 Chicago Union in 2025, and gave fans some of the best ultimate frisbee we’ve ever seen, as proven in his plus/minus of 83. The catch is that he did that in 10 games. In the last three years, there have been three guys who were over the 100 mark, but they all played 15 games. If you pace it out, De Marrée would have been at 116 if he played just 14 games, good for the third-highest in UFA history.

Youngest MVP ever

22-year-old Tobe Decraene was honored as the league’s MVP in 2025 and became the youngest player ever to win the award in UFA history. The MVP trophy adds to his Rookie of the Year and Championship Weekend MVP collection. He was the first player ever to finish with 400 completions and 4,000 receiving yards in a single season. 

Players with 20-plus blocks

Defenses saw an uptick in production in 2025, with five different players hitting the 20 mark for blocks. Jeff Babbitt, Coolman, Luke Marks, Justin Burnett, and Seth Gudeman fall into that category, the most we’ve seen in four seasons. In 2024, there were four guys who hit that mark, three in 2023, and just one in 2022.

Andrew Roy’s completion rate

DC’s Roy was a completion machine, quarterbacking that Breeze offense. He had the second-most completions in 2025 with 641 and had a completion rate of 97.71. There are 78 players who have completed at least 500 passes over the last five seasons. Of those 78, there have been seven percentages above 97 (two of them being Roy), and just four above his 2025 season (again, one of them being Roy in 2023).

McKay Yorgason’s involvement

When the Salt Lake Shred scored last season, odds are Yorgason was involved in the sequence. His 54 hockey assists were the most in the league and were 12 above the second-most in 2025. The only two players, since 2021, to hit the 50 mark have been him and Pawel Janas in 2022, who also had 54.

Jake Felton's turnovers

This stat is on the wrong side of things, but has to be spotlighted. The now disbanded Detroit team had Felton at the helm, and while he did produce great numbers, he made history with his 66 turnovers in 2025. There have only been 10 instances in UFA history where a player has had more than 60 turnovers in a season (one of them was Felton with 81 in 2024).

Allan Laviolette's automatic hucks

Carolina’s Laviolette had an 86.49 completion rate on 32 hucks in 2025. That is the third-highest rate we’ve seen in players with at least 20 hucks attempted since 2021. Of 74 players with at least 20 hucks since 2021, there were only 11 with an 80 percent completion rate, and five of them came in 2025.

Atlanta’s possession dominance

The Atlanta Hustle’s offense has been generational. They have turned the disc over the least amount as a team in four straight seasons. It's 168 turnovers in 2025, which is the fourth-lowest in UFA history.

Wind Chill block machine

In 16 games in 2025, the Wind Chill produced more blocks than the other team by a wide margin. Its 204 blocks were 27 more than second place, and the highest we’ve seen since 2019.

Chicago and Minnesota’s defense

In 2025, there were two historic defenses in terms of break percentage and breaks per game. The Union led the league in both marks with a 48.07 break percentage rate and 12.46 breaks per game. Minnesota was close behind with a 45.48 break percentage rate and 10.69 breaks per game. Both are mentioned because third place in both of those categories was only at a 36.6 break percentage rate and 8.62 breaks per game.

Going back to 2014, when those two stats were first tracked, there have only been seven teams to have more than a 40 break percentage rate (one in 2016, three in 2015, and 2014). Furthermore, Chicago’s 2025 stat is the highest in UFA history, and Minnesota is third on the list. Similarly, there hasn’t been a defense to average more than 10 blocks per game since 2016.

Perfect games on offense

In the history of the UFA, there have only been 16 games where an offense has held every single time they touch the field. In 2025, we got two of those 16 games. The Carolina Flyers went 16/16 against the Houston Havoc, and the Oakland Spiders went 12/12 against the Vegas Bighorns. The only team to have more holds in a perfect game than Carolina was the Toronto Rush in 2015, when they went 19/19.

Single-game break percentage history

The Minnesota defense has been mentioned a lot, but for good reason. They broke records left and right in 2025. In a game against Detroit last year, they broke the record for the highest break percentage rate in a single game at 75 percent. There have only been six other games where a defense has been over 70 percent.

DC’s offensive completion rate

Behind the aforementioned Roy’s efforts in 2025, it led the Breeze offense to complete an average of 300.57 passes per game. That is the eighth-highest average in UFA history, and the third-highest since 2019 behind DC’s 2021 season and Indianapolis’ 2024 season.

Team huck completion rate

2021 was the first year that huck completion rate was tracked, and since then, there have been nine teams to complete over 70 percent of their attempts. Four of those teams did that in 2025 (one in 2023, one in 2022, and three in 2021). The 2025 Seattle Cascades and Carolina Flyers were both above 75 percent, good for third and fourth all-time.

Final Thoughts

The game of ultimate frisbee is evolving. Players are entering this league more skilled and more athletic. Some of these guys have been playing ultimate since they were children. It’s comparable to basketball in the sense that teenagers weren’t doing windmill and 360 dunks in the 1990’s, but are doing it now as soon as they hit the age of 13. The sport of ultimate frisbee is becoming a spectacle in the athleticism department.

Possessions are becoming more valuable, and teams are being more strategic in their game plans. It’s a necessity for the league to thrive, and players and coaches are going to get left in the dust if they don’t take those steps with the rest of the league.

Defense is becoming more important. Not only forcing turnovers and producing blocks, but converting on those chances. As offenses get better and more surgical, those chances become less and less, so being able to break an offense is more of a momentum-switcher and game-changer than ever before.
