Team analytics, player leaders, offensive production, and goaltending performance from the 2025–26 ECHL season.

Brandon Hawkins drove one of the ECHL’s most explosive offenses. His elite combination of assists and goal scoring made him one of the most dangerous offensive players in the league and the centerpiece of Toledo’s attack.
The forward group showed impressive scoring depth. Tanner Dickinson, Tanner Kelly, Mitch Lewandowski, and Sam Craggs all produced strong offensive seasons, giving Toledo multiple scoring threats throughout the lineup.
