After a 12-year hiatus, the Pittsburgh Penguins will embrace their team Hall of Fame once more, with the class of 2025 scheduled to be inducted Oct. 25.
The Penguins intermittently inducted Hall of Fame classes between 1992 and 2013, with the current incarnation set to take place with three separate classes over the next three years.
The team plans to induct four or five players, coaches, executives or contributors per year over the next three seasons to join 20 already inducted. A total of 10 future inductees already have been announced, although the team has yet to reveal what specific year they will be enshrined.
Six players to be inducted in upcoming classes all have won multiple Stanley Cup titles with the franchise: Tom Barrasso, Ron Francis, Jaromir Jagr, Chris Kunitz, Larry Murphy and Kevin Stevens.
The team also has named four 'builders' for future enshrinement, all of whom played a major role in those championships: Scotty Bowman, Eddie Johnston, Jim Rutherford and Ray Shero (posthumously).
'The Penguins are one of the most storied franchises in the history of the National Hockey League and permanently celebrating the success of our past players and personnel has been an important mission of our current staff all across the organization,' said Kyle Dubas, president of hockey operations and general manager.
'The three-year plan is an effort to recognize those whose contributions laid the foundation for the championship standard here in Pittsburgh.'
The team plans to induct four members into the 2025 class, with those individuals announced at a later date.
Past players already inducted into the team Hall of Fame include Mario Lemieux (class of 1999), Joe Mullen (2000), Ulf Samuelsson (2003), Paul Coffey (2007) and Mark Recchi (2013).
