The United States Hockey Hall of Fame has announced the Class of 2025, which will include four players (Zach Parise, Joe Pavelski, Scott Gomez & Tara Mounsey) and one builder (Bruce Bennett).

This group will be the 53rd Class for the Eveleth, Minnesota-based institution, and the induction will take place in St. Paul on December 10.

The Class of 2025 is:

Zach Parise:  From Minneapolis, Parise played 19 years in the NHL with extended stays in New Jersey and Minnesota.  An All-Star in 2009 when he was fifth in Hart Trophy voting, the Left Wing scored 889 Points in 1,254 Games and represented the United States in nine tournaments, earning Gold in the 2004 World Juniors and Silver in the 2010 Olympics.

Joe Pavelski:  An NCAA Champion at the University of Wisconsin, Pavelski played 18 years in the NHL; 13 with San Jose and five with Dallas, and accumulated 1,068 Points over his career.  A four-time All-Star and one-time Second Team All-Star, Pavelski received Frank J. Selke votes in 14 of his NHL campaigns.  Pavelski was part of the 2010 Olympic Team that won the Silver Medal.  How can a man nicknamed “Captain America” not be in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame!

Scott Gomez:  From Alaska, Gomez won the 2000 Calder Trophy and also helped the New Jersey Devils win two Stanley Cups.   Accruing 756 Points and two All-Star Games, Gomez also played for the New York Rangers, Montreal, San Jose, Florida, St. Louis, and Ottawa.  For the United States, Gomez played in four tournaments.

Tara Mounsey:  Playing collegiately at Brown, where she was the ECAC Rookie of the Year, Mounsey represented the U.S. multiple times and was a member of the 1998 Olympic Gold Medal Team. 

Bruce Bennett: Bennett is a renowned sports photographer who has captured more than 2.5 million images of NHL action.

We at Notinhalloffame would like to congratulate the United States Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

Zach Parise was taken with the 17^th Overall Pick in 2003, and the American Left Wing would debut for the New Jersey Devils two years later.
