Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Bill Hay passed away at 88.

From Saskatchewan, Hay played eight seasons in the NHL, all with the Chicago Black Hawks, where he was the 1960 Calder Trophy winner and helped his squad win the 1961 Stanley Cup.  As a player, Hay scored a respectable 386 Points in 506 Games.

Following his playing career, Hay entered the oil business, but the lure of hockey brought him back.  He served as the President and CEO of Hockey Canada and was the head of Hockey Canada.  Hay also was a past voter for the Hockey Hall of Fame. 

Hay entered the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder in 2015, joining his father, Charles, who was also inducted as a builder (1974).

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to Bill Hay's fans, friends, and family.

An impressive list of NHL stars will be eligible for the 2025 Hall of Fame class. They will be joined by several players who have been left out of the Hall over the years, including Keith Tkachuk.

Tkachuk was one of the league’s biggest stars and was one of the top forwards of his era. He made a name for himself by combining physical play with elite goal-scoring. As a result, he finished his career with over 538 goals, 1,065 points, and 2,219 penalty minutes.

Despite his impressive numbers, Hall of Fame Voters have left Tkachuk off their ballots since he became eligible over a decade ago.

Will 2025 be the year when this finally changes?

Why Voters Have Not Elected Tkachuk

While voters have not all been open about their opinions around Keith Tkachuk’s Hall of Fame resume, a couple of issues are working against him.

The first is that the former star forward never made it past the third round of the playoffs. While plenty of players have made the Hall without winning a Stanley Cup, Tkachuk’s 18-year career makes the stat stand out when considered for Hockey’s highest honor.

Speaking of Tkachuk’s long career, that is likely another issue that has prevented him from reaching the Hall of Fame. Most of his time was during the NHL’s “dead puck era,” where the league saw an offensive decline from the 1994-95 lockout until the early 2,000s. That led to several players enjoying longer-than-average careers, including Tkachuk.

Lastly, how the game has changed since his retirement could affect how voters view him. While his goal-scoring stands independently, his time spent in the penalty box stands out even more. He could already have gotten into the Hall if he was a defenseman enforcer or a pure scorer. Instead, voters may have difficulty reconciling those two aspects of his game.

While his numbers remain impressive, voters aren’t giving them as much weight when considering his candidacy for the NHL Hall of Fame.

The Argument for Tkachuk to Make the Hall

There are many reasons why Keith Tkachuk should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame long ago.

One of the biggest is that Tkachuk is one of just 47 players to score over 500 goals in his career. Only four eligible players of that group are not in the Hall of Fame. While he benefited from an extended career thanks to the dead puck era, his goal-scoring during the league-wide offensive drought is impressive.

Tkachuk also enjoyed many awards and honors throughout his NHL career. He had ten top-five finishes in All-Star voting, finishing among the top three four times. He also played for the US in the Olympics and the 1996 World Cup.

Along with the awards, the forward also owns some impressive records. The biggest was when he became the first American to lead the NHL in scoring 52 goals in the 1996-1997 season. That impressive season also saw him become the fourth player in NHL history to score 50 goals and 200 penalty minutes in a single season, a feat that seems impossible today.

Will 2025 be Tkachuk’s Year?

Keith Tkachuk’s impressive numbers are worthy of the Hall of Fame, but his path becomes more challenging each year he is left out. Newer voters will have less familiarity with Tkachuk and his role during the NHL’s dead puck era as the years roll on.

That said, the Tkachuk name is still alive and well in the NHL. His sons Brady and Matthew have become stars in their own right, leading the Panthers to the Stanley Cup in 2024. While their play doesn’t affect his Hall of Fame resume, it keeps his name public. Many fans long for his era, when even skill players could be physical enforcers, which is no longer seen in the league.

While many believe that Keith Tkachuk’s impressive numbers warrant a Hall of Fame induction, predicting whether he will be selected can be challenging. As such, sports enthusiasts and analysts often turn to betting sites for insights into potential outcomes. Canada’s best betting sites will likely offer odds on Tkachuk’s chances of making the 2025 Hall of Fame class, reflecting the ongoing debate among voters and fans. Moreover, NHL betting trends might also influence how these odds are set, as the hockey community closely follows the shifting dynamics of the sport.

It seems more than possible that Keith will still be waiting to get in when both of his sons become eligible.

There are two significant measuring sticks for professional athletes when it comes to defining their careers. Hoisting a championship in the air after grinding through a hard-fought season is the ultimate team achievement. As for an individual honor, hearing your name being inducted into the Hall of Fame is the absolute pinnacle for any athlete, celebrating their impact on the sport.  

As hockey fans await the 2024 class to be inducted in November, it is not too early to look ahead at who could potentially join the illustrious list of names as part of the 2025 class. With only four male players included each year, it will be a tough task for the committee to whittle down a star-studded roster of eligible NHL candidates.  

Top Candidates 

Zdeno Chara 

He may have suited up for the New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, and Washington Capitals, but the 6’9” defenseman from Slovakia will best be remembered for his time as the captain of the Boston Bruins.  

Armed with one of the hardest shots in NHL history, Zdeno Chara helped the Bruins win the 2011 Stanley Cup title and led them to several more trips to the championship series. A seven-time All-NHL recipient, Chara was often a contender for the Norris Trophy, which he won in 2009. “Big Z” finished his career playing 1,652 games, the most by a defenseman in league history.  

Duncan Keith 

One of the greatest defensemen in NHL history, Keith was a pillar for the Chicago Blackhawks dynasty throughout the 2010s, helping the team to three Stanley Cup titles. For most of his seventeen NHL seasons, Keith proved to not only be an elite defender but also one of the best offensive blueliners in the league.  

A two-time Norris Trophy winner and All-NHL member, a Conn Smythe winner, and four-time All-Star, Keith also found success on the international stage, helping Team Canada to gold medals at the 2010 and 2014 Olympic Games.  

Joe Thornton  

Tagged with the nickname “Jumbo Joe”, Thornton’s presence on the ice was fitting of his moniker. Selected by the Boston Bruins with the first overall pick in the 1997 NHL Draft, the power forward would also suit up for the San Jose Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Florida Panthers before finishing his career in 2022.  

One of the best playmakers in NHL history, 1,109 of Thornton’s 1,539 points would come from setting up his teammates (ranking him seventh all-time). While Thornton would come up short of winning Lord Stanley’s mug during his one trip to the finals with the Sharks, the burley forward earned both the Hart Memorial and Art Ross Trophy in 2006 and was named to four All-NHL teams. As a member of Team Canada, Thornton helped his country capture a gold medal in 2010, a pair of World Cup titles, and a World Junior Championship.  

Carey Price 

Ken Dryden, Jacques Plante, Patrick Roy. You can also add Carey Price’s name to the illustrious list of players who played between the pipes for the Montreal Canadiens. Drafted 5th overall in 2005, Price played his entire career with the Habs, becoming the winningest goaltender in team history with 361 wins.  

While a Stanley Cup would elude Price during his fifteen-year career, the Vancouver native did collect nearly every individual award possible for a goalie, including the Hart Trophy (just one of seven goalies in history). Price would also find success on the international stage, helping Canada capture gold in the 2014 Olympics, 2016 World Cup, and 2007 World Juniors.  

Honorable Mention 

While the odds are not in favor of the following players to make the cut this year, their contributions to their respective teams and the league should not go unappreciated. 

Dustin Brown 

For eighteen seasons (2003-2022) the right winger from Ithaca, New York was a staple in the Los Angeles Kings lineup. Selected 13th overall in the 2003 NHL Draft, Brown was the captain of the Kings during the club’s most successful era.  

Known for his physical play, leadership, and knack for stepping up in big moments, Brown finished his career with 1,296 games played—the second most in Kings history—and 712 points. A two-time Stanley Cup champion (2012, 2014), Brown would earn a trip to the 2009 All-Star Game and capture a silver (2010 Olympics) and bronze (2004 World Cup) with Team USA.  

Ryan Getzlaf 

From the time the Anaheim Ducks selected Getzlaf with the 19th pick in 2003, he quickly established himself as the heart and soul of the franchise for the next seventeen years. Retiring as the team’s all-time regular season leader in games played, points, and assists as well as their playoff leader in goals, assists, and points, Getzlaf is not only one of the best players in the history of hockey in California but the entire NHL.  

A member of the Ducks 2007 Stanley Cup championship team, Getzlaf also earned an All-NHL Team honor and three trips to the All-Star Game. Getzlaf would also find championship success on the international level winning gold with Team Canada in the 2016 World Cup, 2010 Olympics, and 2005 World Juniors.  

As the selection committee deals with the difficult task of selecting a new class of inductees, the excitement surrounding the upcoming season on the ice continues to grow. Thanks to a variety of Canadian betting apps, interest off the ice has become increasingly popular with fans looking to place a wager on a variety of hockey-related outcomes. As fans analyze stats, awards, and team achievements, they often get a deeper appreciation for the legacies and impact on the league that each player left, making each a worthy contender for the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The Hockey Hall of Fame has announced the seven names who will comprise the Class of 2024

Colin Campbell, Natalie Darwitz, Pavel Datsyuk, David Polle, Jeremy Roenick, Shea Weber, and Krissy Wendell-Pohl were chosen for the Toronto-based institution.

Colin Campbell had an 11-year career as a player, but he entered as a builder.  A Stanley Cup winner in 1994 as an Assistant Coach with the Rangers, Campbell took over as the NHL’s Senior Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations in 1998.

Natalie Darwitz was a three-time All-American at the University of Minnesota, leading the Golden Gophers to back-to-back National Championships.  Darwitz was on multiple U.S. National Teams, and won three World Championship Gold Medals.

Pavel Datsyuk, from Russia, played his entire NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings (2001-16) scoring 918 Points and helping his club win two Stanley Cups.  Datsyuk was one of the best defensive forwards of his day, winning three Frank J. Selke Awards and the Lady Byng Trophy four times.  He was also named to the NHL 100^th Anniversary Team.  Internationally, he won Gold at the 2018 Olympics and the 2012 World Hockey Championship.

David Poile took over as Washington’s General Manager in 1983 and held that role for 15 years before signing on with the expansion Nashville Predators.  He brought them to their first Stanley Cup Final in 2016, and when he retired last year, he had the most wins of any GM in NHL history. 

Jeremy Roenick finally enters the Hall after 12 years of eligibility.  Roenick scored 513 Goals and 1,216 Points over 20 seasons.  The American played for Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and San Jose and has Silver Medals in the 2002 Olympics and the 1991 Canada Cup.

Shea Weber was one of the best defencemen of the 2010s, having earned two First Team All-Stars and two Second Teams.  While Weber never won the Norris trophy, he finished in the top ten nine seasons in a row.  Weber also won the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2015-16, which was also his last year in Nashville (he finished his career with Montreal).  Internationally, Weber won two Olympic Gold Medals (2010 & 2014), and also Gold in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.  

Krissy Wendell-Pohl scored 133 Points in two years at the University of Minnesota, where she won the 2005 Patty Kazmaier Award.  She would win Gold in the 2005 Worlds and also owns an Olympic Silver and Bronze Medal.

We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the impending members of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

We have a new add-on on the Notinhalloffame.com site in the Hockey Futures as we have opened up the 2026 Eligible players.  These hockey players will first be eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2026.   We encourage you to vote and give your opinions on their respective HOF credentials.

Cory Schneider:  Schneider won the William M. Jennings Trophy as Roberto Luongo’s backup in Vancouver and was an All-Star later in 2016 as a member of the New Jersey Devils.

Craig Anderson:  Anderson had his most success in the NHL with the Ottawa Senators where he led the league in Saves once (2009/10) and Save Percentage and Goals Against Average once (2012/13).  He also won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy in 2017.

David Krejci: Krejci played his entire NHL career with the Boston Bruins, where he scored 786 Points and was a Stanley Cup Champion in 2011.  He also led the NHL twice in Plus/Minus twice and would win two Bronze Medals for the Czech Republic in the World Hockey Championship.

Michael Bodker: Bodker had over 300 Points in the NHL, and the Right Winger represented Denmark multiple times, including a Silver Medal for Team Europe in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Selke Trophy six times (a record), was a three-time All-Star and led Boston to a Stanley Cup win in 2011.  He also won the Mark Messier Leadership Award and the King Clancy Memorial Trophy and internationally won two Olympic Golds and one World Cup of Hockey Medal for Canada.
