Former Wild forward Zach Parise has been inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025.

He joins longtime San Jose Sharks center Joe Pavelski, two-time Stanley Cup champion Scott Gomez, Olympic gold medalist Tara Mounsey, and veteran hockey photographer Bruce Bennett.

The Minneapolis native played 1,254 regular-season games and 122 postseason contests for the New Jersey Devils, Minnesota Wild, New York Islanders, and Colorado Avalanche. Drafted 17th overall by the Devils in 2003, Parise spent seven seasons in New Jersey and helped the team reach the Stanley Cup Final in 2012. He signed with the Wild the following offseason and went on to play nine years in Minnesota.

Across his 19-year NHL career, Parise scored 434 goals and added 455 assists in the regular season. He also tallied 83 playoff points on 39 goals and 44 assists.

On the international stage, Parise won gold with the U.S. at the 2002 IIHF Under-18 World Championship and again with the National Junior Team at the 2004 World Juniors, the program’s first-ever gold medal. He later helped Team USA earn silver at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

The Class of 2025 will be officially inducted during a dinner and ceremony in St. Paul this December.
