New Hall of Fame Class Spotlight: Bergeron, Price, Rinne and Tkachuk Headline 2026 Inductees
Patrice Bergeron, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne and Keith Tkachuk headline the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2026, with Cindy Curley also inducted as a player and Brian Burke as a Builder; induction is set for November 9. Bergeron, in his first year of eligibility, enjoyed a 19‑season Bruins career, a six‑time Selke winner and a Stanley Cup champion who’s also expected to have his No. 37 retired by Boston. Price is the Canadiens’ all‑time wins leader and joined the rare club to win both the Vezina and Hart in the same season (2014‑15). Rinne is the Predators’ all‑time goalie legend, a Vezina winner and a key figure in Nashville’s rise, while Tkachuk tallied 538 goals and 1,065 points in a storied career; he’s also the father of Matthew and Brady Tkachuk. Curley contributed to U.S. women’s hockey and NCAA success, and Burke’s long executive résumé includes leadership roles with multiple NHL teams. The class will be inducted November 9.
