The NHL Hall of Fame has displays featuring NHL players, teams, records, memorabilia, and NHL prizes, including the Stanley Cup. It was founded in 1943 in Kingston, Ontario, under the guidance of James T. Sutherland.

The NHL Hall of Fame has 15 display rooms, which span over 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2). Visitors can look at trophies, mementos, and equipment players use during special games. 

The Stanley Cup is the focal point of the Great Hall; for part of the year, a replica is displayed while the presenting cup travels outside the Hall of Fame. The original Cup and older rings, as well as all current National Hockey League trophies, are on display in the bank vault, an alcove off the Great Hall.

When will NHL Hall of Fame 2024 announce the inductees?

The Selection Committee will hold its annual meeting in Toronto on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, to choose and announce the 2024 Hockey Hall of Fame members. The selection announcement will be live on TSN on Tuesday, June 25 (time TBD). The Induction Weekend events will take place from Friday, November 8 to Sunday, November 10, culminating with the Induction Celebration on Monday, November 11, 2024.

The Hockey Hall of Fame Selection Committee comprises 18 members nominated by the Board of Directors. Its mission is to nominate and elect candidates as Honoured Members in the Player, Builder, and Referee/Linesman categories. Candidates for player and referee/linesman positions must have completed at least three seasons of play or officiating.

Honored members are admitted into the Hall of Fame during an annual ceremony held in November at the Hall of Fame building. This is followed by a special "Hockey Hall of Fame Game" between the Toronto Maple Leafs and a visiting club. 

As of 2023, 299 players (including 10 women), 115 builders, and 16 on-ice officials had been admitted into the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame has been criticized for concentrating on players from the National Hockey League while mostly disregarding those from other North American and foreign leagues.
