Carey Price and Patrice Bergeron received their Hockey Hall of Fame rings Saturday in Toronto. The Hall opened induction weekend in its Great Hall, where the plaques for all six members of the Class of 2026 were already on display.
Bergeron told NHL.com it was humbling to see his plaque in the room alongside Bruins greats. Price said he looked for the plaque of a Canadiens goaltender he had admired and for one belonging to a former Montreal teammate.
Price told The Canadian Press he was driving when the Hall called in June. He credited his family for the trips from his rural British Columbia home that let him play hockey. Price won 361 games over 15 seasons with Montreal. He took the Hart Trophy, Vezina Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award in 2014-15 and helped the Canadiens reach the 2021 Stanley Cup Final.
Bergeron said the weekend gave him time to reflect on the people who helped him reach the Hall. He spent all 19 of his NHL seasons in Boston, winning the Stanley Cup in 2011 and the Selke Trophy six times. He had 1,040 points in 1,294 regular-season games.
Brian Burke, the class’s lone builder, received his ring first. Nashville Predators goaltending great Pekka Rinne, Keith Tkachuk and Cindy Curley joined Price and Bergeron in the player category. The induction ceremony takes place Monday, Nov. 9.
