U.S. women’s players Natalie Darwitz and Krissy Wendell-Pohl, and executives Colin Campbell and David Poile, will also go into the hall.
Former Montreal Canadiens captain Shea Weber and Detroit Red Wings winger Pavel Datsyuk, a two-time Stanley Cup champion, were elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility, while Jeremy Roenick is going into the hall after being eligible for more than a decade.
They are part of the seven-member class of 2024, the first to include two women’s players since 2010.
It’s the first class with two U.S. women’s players in the hall’s history: Natalie Darwitz and Krissy Wendell-Pohl.
Longtime executives Colin Campbell and David Poile were chosen in the builder category.
Roenick’s 1,216 points with Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Jose are fourth most of any U.S.-born player. He has been eligible since 2012 and passed over each year since.
Weber, who led the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2021, hasn’t played since. His contract was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, then to the Arizona Coyotes. He still has two seasons left on a 14-year contract Poile signed him to in 2012 with the Nashville Predators, though he has effectively retired from the game.
