"The 2025 Hockey Hall of Fame inductees were, for the builders category, Jack Parker and Daniele Sauvageau. For the players section, Boston Bruins iconic blueliner and 2011 Stanley Cup champion Zdeno Chara, Duncan Keith, who was a big factor for the Chicago Blackhawks' run of three Stanley Cups (2010, 2013, 2015), three-time Olympic gold medalist for Canada Jennifer Botterill, six-time Hockey World Championship gold medalist for the United States, Brianna Decker, longtime Sharks forward Joe Thornton and 2000 NHL Stanley Cup champion, Alexander Mogilny."
"Thornton had a short, one-season stint with the Leafs in the 2020-21 season. He notched 20 points (five goals, 15 assists), which was his lowest point total at the time since his rookie season in 1997-98. To give him the benefit of the doubt, he was already 41 years-old, so Leafs Nation can be sure that he was mainly brought in to act as a mentor to the younger players on the team."
The 2025 Hockey Hall of Fame class includes builders Jack Parker and Daniele Sauvageau and players Zdeno Chara, Duncan Keith, Jennifer Botterill, Brianna Decker, Joe Thornton, and Alexander Mogilny. Only Joe Thornton and Alexander Mogilny wore a Toronto Maple Leafs crest during their careers. Thornton played one season for the Maple Leafs in 2020-21, recording 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) and becoming the oldest player in Maple Leafs history to score a goal at 41 years and 296 days. Thornton ranks sixth all-time in NHL games played, seventh in assists, and 14th in points. Thornton retired in 2023 without a Stanley Cup.
