This year marked the 23rd annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and the 14th consecutive year it was held at the Grappone Conference Center. In addition to honoring the Class of 2025, the Legends paid tribute to the Club National hockey team of Nashua, which played during the 1920s.

President Mike Gould opened the ceremony by congratulating the 5 amazing individuals who will be enshrined later today in our Hall of Fame. A special welcome to their family members and friends who have come to join today’s celebration. Hockey has touched each of our lives in many different ways. This unique event brings the state’s hockey community together where we can rekindle old friendships, foster new ones, and celebrate the PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE of hockey in NH.
“We are positive you will thoroughly enjoy the day, and we hope you will return next year as a fan of hockey, play in our golf classic or consider donating as a Supporter.”
