Preview

There's a bit of a Vancouver flavor to the 2022 Hockey Hall of Fame class. That's because half of the class spent a substantial amount of time as teammates with the Canucks.

Twin brothers Daniel and Henrik Sedin spent their entire NHL careers together, playing the same 18 seasons in Vancouver. They'll be inducted alongside goaltender Roberto Luongo, who played eight of his 19 seasons with the Canucks (although he's more known for his 11 seasons with the Panthers).

It's only fitting that the Sedin twins are now going into the Hall of Fame together. Each is deserving, too. Daniel was a two-time All-Star who tallied 393 goals and 648 assists in the NHL, while Henrik was also a two-time All-Star with 240 goals and 830 assists over his career.

Both Sedins and Luongo were elected to the Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.

“You never expect this to happen. And then you get the call," Daniel Sedin said, per the Associated Press.

Daniel Alfredsson had been eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame since 2017, so he had to wait a bit before getting that call. The 18-year NHL veteran spent all but one of his seasons with the Senators, and he became an integral part of that franchise's success.

Riikka Sallinen won two Olympic bronze medals while playing for Finland's women's national team. Herb Carnegie was a pioneer for the sport in Canada and is one of the best Black players to have not played in the NHL.

All six of this year's Hall of Fame inductees are deserving, each for their own reasons.

“You look around and see all the plaques, you see all the names,” Luongo said, per the AP. “It’s pretty special.”

Of the four former NHL players in the 2022 class, none won the Stanley Cup. However, that didn't stop any of them from having Hall of Fame careers and making a huge impact on the sport in the process.

Now, as Luongo alluded to, they'll be enshrined among the all-time greats once they participate in Monday's prestigious ceremony.
