Jeremy Roenick Enters Hockey Hall of Fame as Member of 2024 Class

Roenick joins Shea Weber, Pavel Datsyuk, Natalie Darwitz, Kristy Wendell-Phil, David Poile, and Colin Campbell in the class. Three male players, two female players, and two contributors round out the group. 

Roenick spent the first eight seasons (with only 20 games played in year 1) with the Blackhawks. The American-born forward posted 267 goals and 329 assists in 524 games with Chicago. Roenick also spent the most time with the Hawks in his now Hall of Fame career (eight seasons). Roenick made stops in Phoenix (six seasons), Philadelphia (three seasons), San Jose (two seasons), and Los Angeles (one season) before calling it a career. Over 1,363 NHL games, Roenick posted 1,216 career points (513 goals, 703 assists). 

Roenick is one of the best players in American hockey history, but also in Blackhawks history. He is one of 10 Americans, and three Blackhawks Americans, to have tallied 400 goals, accompanying Tony Amonte and Patrick Kane on that list. 

Roenick spent time as a NHL analyst on NBC when the network owned the rights to the national NHL broadcasts, but due to comments about former colleagues Kathryn Tappen and Patrick Sharp on Barstool's Spittin Chiclets Podcast, he was let go. 

Although Roenick made a mistake in his broadcasting days, JR was a hell of a player for the Chicago Blackhawks. Roenick, along with many great like Chris Chelios and Steve Larmer, guided the Hawks to the Stanley Cup Final in the 1991-92 season. However, the Hawks were swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins. That was the closest Roenick got to hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup. 

Despite a lack of championships and individual accolades, Roenick is a five-time All-Star and now a Hockey Hall of Famer.
