Pittsburgh Penguins Relaunch Hall of Fame With 10 Inductees

The Pittsburgh Penguins are relaunching their Hall of Fame after a 13-year hiatus, with plans to induct 10 new members over the next three seasons, starting with a four-member class in October 2025. The new inductees include six players—Tom Barrasso, Ron Francis, Jaromir Jagr, Chris Kunitz, Larry Murphy, and Kevin Stevens—all of whom won multiple Stanley Cups with the team, and four builders—Scotty Bowman, Eddie Johnston, Jim Rutherford, and the late Ray Shero—who were instrumental in the franchise's success. This relaunch includes establishing a dedicated Hall of Fame exhibit at PPG Paints Arena, providing fans a permanent space to celebrate the team's history and contributions. The Hall of Fame selection is overseen by a 21-member voting committee composed of former players, coaches, executives, and media members, using criteria such as career achievements, legacy, and impact on the team and community. Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas emphasized the importance of honoring the franchise's storied history and championship legacy through this initiative. The Penguins Hall of Fame will now receive significantly more attention and recognition, reflecting the franchise's status as one of the most successful in NHL history.
