Overview
- The Hockey Hall of Fame will celebrate its Class of 2025 with an induction ceremony set for November 10 in Toronto.
- The eight inductees include Alexander Mogilny—finally selected in his 17th year of eligibility—and three first-year eligible NHL stars: Joe Thornton, Duncan Keith and Zdeno Chara.
- Mogilny was honored for his 473 NHL goals, 1,032 points and historic defection from the Soviet Union to join the Buffalo Sabres in 1989.
- Jennifer Botterill and Brianna Decker were recognized for their decorated women’s hockey careers, which feature multiple Olympic gold medals and world championship titles.
- Builders Jack Parker and Danièle Sauvageau earned induction for their contributions to hockey—Parker’s 40-year Boston University coaching tenure yielded three NCAA titles and nearly 900 wins, and Sauvageau became the first woman inducted as a builder after leading Canada to Olympic gold.
