The Montreal Canadiens have a long list of Hockey Hall of Fame members throughout their history. That list is about to grow by one more.
Pierre Turgeon was elected to become a member and will be enshrined in the 2023 class with fellow players Henrik Lundqvist, Tom Barrasso, Mike Vernon, and Caroline Ouellette. Ken Hitchcock and Pierre Lacroix will also join the Hall of Fame in the builder’s category.
Turgeon’s career ended in 2007 so he has been eligible to get in since 2010, but has finally received the required number of votes to be inducted. While his wait was a long one, Turgeon’s career on the ice sure points to a Hall of Fame worthy career.
