The U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame announced its 2025 class on Wednesday.
Former NHL veterans Joe Pavelski, Zach Parise and Scott Gomez lead the 53rd group to be inducted in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on Dec. 10 later this year.
"The collection of talent that is part of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2025 is truly remarkable," USA Hockey president Mike Trimboli said in a statement. "Their extraordinary contributions have positively impacted our game and continue to do so today."
Pavelski recorded 1,068 points in 1,332 regular season games spent with the San Jose Sharks and Dallas Stars. He was a one-time All-Star and served as captain of Team USA at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.
Parise and Pavelski were both members of the 2010 U.S. Men’s Olympic Hockey Team that captured the silver medal in Vancouver and the 2014 team that finished fourth in Sochi.
Across 1,254 regular season games, Parise tallied 889 points. He was a one-time All-Star and led the United States as captain at the 2014 Olympics. Parise skated for 19 NHL seasons with the New Jersey Devils, Minnesota Wild, New York Islanders and Colorado Avalanche.
Gomez twice lifted the Stanley Cup as a member of the 1999-2000 and 2002-03 Devils. He represented USA at the 2006 Turin Olympics. Gomez won the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s best rookie following the 1999-00 season.
He suited up for 1,079 regular season games split between the Devils, New York Rangers, Montreal Canadiens, Sharks, Florida Panthers, St. Louis Blues and Ottawa Senators.
They will be joined by Tara Mounsey, who helped the U.S. Women’s Olympic Hockey Team to the gold medal at the 1998 Nagano Games. Mounsey was also part of the team that earned silver at Salt Lake City in 2002.
Longtime photographer Bruce Bennett will also be enshrined in the 2025 class. Bennett has captured some of hockey’s most iconic images for over 51 years.
