2026 Hockey Hall of Fame to Induct Bergeron, Price, Rinne and Others
The Hockey Hall of Fame will welcome six new members in 2026, including Patrice Bergeron, Carey Price, and Pekka Rinne, all of whom spent their entire NHL careers with one team.
The National Hockey League has announced the 2026 Hockey Hall of Fame class, featuring six inductees. Among them are Patrice Bergeron, Carey Price, and Pekka Rinne – all players who played their entire NHL careers for a single franchise.
Bergeron, who spent 19 seasons with the Boston Bruins, recorded 1,040 points (427 goals, 613 assists) in 1,294 games. He won the Selke Trophy as the top defensive forward six times, hoisted the Stanley Cup in 2011, and earned two Olympic gold medals with Team Canada.
Price played his entire career with the Montreal Canadiens, posting 361 wins in 712 games. In 2015, he captured both the Vezina Trophy (best goaltender) and the Hart Trophy (MVP). At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Price backstopped Canada to gold with shutouts in the semifinal and final.
Rinne spent 15 seasons with the Nashville Predators, earning 369 wins in 683 games. He won the Vezina Trophy in 2018 and was named MVP of the 2014 World Championship while playing for Finland.
The class also includes Keith Tkachuk, who scored 1,065 points (538 goals) in 1,201 NHL games. He ranks second among players not yet in the Hall in goals, trailing only Patrick Marleau. Tkachuk helped the United States win the 1996 World Cup of Hockey.
In women's hockey, Cindy Curley won two NCAA titles with Providence College (1984, 1985) and captained the U.S. to three silver medals at the World Championships.
Executive Brian Burke, who served as president or general manager for several NHL teams, will be inducted for his contributions. He guided the Anaheim Ducks to a Stanley Cup victory in 2007.
The induction ceremony is scheduled for November 9, 2026.
