Former Maple Leafs forwards Alexander Mogilny and Joe Thornton received the honor of being named to the 2025 Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Class on Tuesday.
The NHL announced the latest recipients for the Hockey Hall of Fame inductions for the 2025 year, and the list involves several key figures in the hockey world, with some serious legends thrown in the mix.
The list is as follows:
Joe Thornton, Alexander Mogilny, Zdeno Chara, Duncan Keith, Brianna Decker, Jennifer Botterill, Danièle Sauvageau, Jack Parker; the full list was revealed by the Fourth Period's David Pagnotta.
Alexander Mogilny finally inducted to Hall of Fame
That means that former Maple Leafs forward Alexander Mogilny gets inducted, a well-deserved accomplishment for the dynamic forward who was one of the most exciting players of the 90's and 2000's.
Spending three seasons with the Maple Leafs, Mogilny scored 166 points in 176 games (65G, 101A) and was part of an incredible duo alongside Mats Sundin.
Mogilny had one of the most successful careers in history, and was lauded for his sportsmanlike approach to the game in addition to his incredible skillset.
Jumbo Joe gets the call!
Former Maple Leafs forward Joe Thornton was also inducted into the Hall after an illustrious and long career that saw him skate in 1,714 career games over a 24-year career; an astounding number in any level of pro sports.
While Thornton never reached the heights of Mogilny in terms of playoff accolades, the long-time San Jose Sharks icon was a former MVP and Art Ross winner in 2005-06 when he managed 125 points in 81 games (29G, 96A).
Not a member of the Maple Leafs for long, he was instrumental in setting the tone for rookies and young players coming in including Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner.
It's an incredible accomplishment for both men and well deserved after their respective retirements; Mogilny in 2006 and Thornton in 2022.
Congratulations Joe Thornton and Alexander Mogilny for a well earned enshrinement into Hockey's Hall of Fame.
