 Hockey Hall of Fame unveils 2026 induction class

The Hockey Hall of Fame has announced its 2026 inductees, headlined by Patrice Bergeron, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne, Keith Tkachuk, and Cindy Curley.

Bergeron spent his entire 19-year career with the Boston Bruins, won a record six Frank J. Selke Trophies and won the Stanley Cup in 2011. He is regarded as one of the greatest defensive forwards in NHL history.

His number 37 will be retired by the Bruins next season.

Price is the winningest goalie in Montreal Canadiens history, and is one of only eight goalies to win the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP. He also won a Vezina, a Ted Lindsay Award, and made seven All-Star appearances.

Rinne is a one-time Vezina winner and was selected for the NHL’s Second All-Star Team in 2011 and 2018. He is also the winningest Finnish goalie in NHL history.

Tkachuk is an Olympic silver medalist, has made five all-star appearances, and led the NHL in goals in 1997.

Curley was a foundational piece of the U.S. women’s national team, playing in the first IIHF Women’s World Championship. Her 23 points in five games remain the single-tournament record. She was inducted into the Providence College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013.
