Seven iconic figures were inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto on Monday night.

Tom Barrasso, Henrik Lundqvist, Pierre Turgeon, Mike Vernon, and Caroline Ouellette were inducted in the player category while Ken Hitchcock and the late Pierre Lacroix were inducted in the builder category.

Turgeon was one of the top centers throughout his 19 seasons in the NHL, as his 1,327 points recorded during his career ranks 34th all-time. The former No. 1 pick of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft had three seasons with at least 40 goals. This included 58 in his 1992-93 campaign, a year in which Turgeon also received the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy.
