The Pittsburgh Penguins are relaunching the team’s Hall of Fame and will be inducting ten new players and builders who helped shape the franchise’s history.
The ten individuals will be inducted over the next three seasons.
The six players who are being added to the team’s Hall of Fame are Tom Barrasso, Ron Francis, Jaromir Jagr, Chris Kunitz, Larry Murphy, and Kevin Stevens. The players are being joined by four builders — Scotty Bowman, Eddie Johnston, Jim Rutherford, and Ray Shero.
“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 Penguins President of Hockey Operation and Genera Manager Kyle Dubas. “The three-year plan is an effort to recognize those whose contributions laid the foundation for the championship standard here in Pittsburgh. It was a great honor, in my current role as the person tasked with helping to lead the Penguins back to Stanley Cup contention, to call the inductees and we look forward to unveiling the Hall of Fame display and celebrating with our players, fans and people of Pittsburgh.”
The Penguins’ original Hall of Fame ran intermittently between 1992 and 2013 and consists of 20 players, builders, and contributors, including Mario Lemieux, Paul Coffey, Joe Mullen, Jean Pronovost, Rick Kehoe, Craig Patrick, Bob Johnson, and Mike Lange.
The team’s relaunched Hall of Fame will have a physical space on the main concourse level of PPG Paints Arena and the team will be having an on-ice ceremony to celebrate the 2025 class on Saturday, October 25.
Members of the team’s Hall of Fame will be selected by a voting committee made up of 21 members who are former players, coaches, general managers, broadcasters, club employees, and local media members.
