USA Hockey announced its 2025 Hall of Fame class Wednesday, including longtime NHL veterans Joe Pavelski, Zach Parise and Scott Gomez. The class also includes Olympic gold medalist Tara Mounsey and photographer Bruce Bennett.<\/p>\n
The five will be enshrined at a ceremony in St. Paul, Minn., on Dec. 10.<\/p>\n
Pavelski\u2019s 1,068 points over 18 NHL seasons are the sixth-most ever by an American-born player. He added 143 more points in his 201 playoff appearances. He is one of the best players in San Jose Sharks history, having helped the club reach the Stanley Cup Final in 2016 and retiring with the second-most goals in franchise history. Internationally, Pavelski won a silver medal with the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.<\/p>\n
Parise scored 889 points in the NHL \u2014 17th all-time amongst Americans \u2014 and captained the New Jersey Devils to the 2012 Cup Final. He also won a silver medal with Pavelski at the 2010 Olympics, and served as the U.S. captain in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.<\/p>\n
Gomez finished with 181 goals and 575 assists in his 16 years in the NHL. He won two Stanley Cups with the Devils in 2000 and 2003, and played for the U.S. in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy.<\/p>\n
Mounsey helped the U.S. win Olympic gold in 1998 and silver as the hosts in 2002. She was considered one of the best offensive defensemen in women\u2019s hockey during her career.<\/p>\n
Bennett is one of the most prolific hockey photographers of all time. He has taken photos at more than 5,300 NHL games, 45 different Stanley Cup Finals and six Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n
