The Hockey Hall of Fame announces its Class of 2026, featuring longtime rivals Patrice Bergeron and Carey Price as part of the same group of men’s inductees. Also named among the men’s players are Pekka Rinne and Keith Tkachuk. The class includes Cindy Curley as the women’s player inductee and Brian Burke in the builder category.
According to the Hall’s announcement, the inductees will enter the Hockey Hall of Fame in November. The selections bring together players whose careers span different roles and eras: Bergeron, noted for his defensive-forward excellence, and Price, a goaltender; Rinne, also a goaltender; and Tkachuk, a forward known for his offensive production and physical presence. The Class of 2026 also recognizes Curley’s contributions as a women’s hockey figure and Burke’s work in the sport’s broader organizational and development side as a builder.
Multiple outlets report the same set of inductees and the same induction timeline for November.
