Hockey Hall of Fame inducts class of 2025

The Hockey Hall of Fame inducted its class of 2025 on Monday night, featuring six players and two builders.

Below are each inductee's accomplishments as well as highlights from their respective ceremonies.

Zdeno Chara

Chara is the NHL's all-time leader in games played by a defenseman (1,680) and enters the Hall in his first year of eligibility. He suited up for the New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins, and Washington Capitals over a 24-year career that included seven All-Star nods, a Norris Trophy, and a Stanley Cup.

The towering 6-foot-9 blue-liner was arguably the most feared player of his generation, in large part to his physical defending, as well as his blistering slap shot. Chara registered 680 points in his career, and is one of only 25 NHLers to play 200 playoff games.

Duncan Keith

Keith is another first-year eligible inductee. He played 16 seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks before finishing his career with a one-year stint on the Edmonton Oilers. During his time in the Windy City, Keith put together a remarkable resume, featuring three Stanley Cups, two Norris Trophies, a Conn Smythe, and three All-Star nods. Internationally, he won two Olympic gold medals with Canada.

Alexander Mogilny

Mogilny was unable to attend his long-awaited induction, though he submitted a virtual speech. He's been eligible for the Hall of Fame since 2009 but was overlooked despite having a long list of accomplishments. Mogilny is a Triple Gold Club member as a Stanley Cup, Olympic, and World champion. He notched 1,032 points in 990 games, and played an instrumental role in paving the way for Russians to reach the NHL as the first player to defect from the former Soviet Union.

Mogilny's career included stints with the Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks, New Jersey Devils, and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Joe Thornton

Thornton was the first overall pick in 1997 and played 24 seasons between the Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Florida Panthers. He's widely considered one of the greatest playmakers in league history, ranking seventh in assists (1,109) and 14th in points (1,539). Thornton is one of the most accomplished players to never win a Stanley Cup, but his list of hardware includes an MVP, an Art Ross Trophy, four All-Star selections, an Olympic gold medal, and two World Cups.

Jennifer Botterill

Botterill won three Olympic golds and five World Championships for Canada, ranking sixth in scoring for the country at Worlds. She had an outstanding collegiate career at Harvard, and is the only player to twice win the Patty Kazmaier Award as the NCAA's top player.

Brianna Decker

Decker won six World Championships and one Olympic gold as a staple of the United States' roster throughout her career. She also claimed an NCAA national championship with Wisconsin in 2011.

Builders

Daniele Sauvageau

Sauvageau is the first woman to be inducted in the builders category. She's the general manager of the PWHL's Montreal Victoire and has an extensive history with Hockey Canada. Sauvageau won Olympic gold as head coach in 2002, and held different roles for several World Championship victories.

Jack Parker

Parker coached the men's hockey program at Boston University for 40 years before retiring after the 2012-13 season. He had a .643 winning percentage over that span, and captured three national championships with the Terriers. He's the NCAA's all-time record holder in wins with one team (897).
