ZURICH — Canada’s Patrice Bergeron and Cassie Campbell-Pascall will be inducted into the International Ice Hockey Hall of Fame in 2026.

They will join Sweden’s Niklas Kronwall, Switzerland’s Florence Schelling and Andrew Ambuhl and Austria’s Thomas Vanek entering the Hall as players. Winnipeg’s Ralph Krueger, who coached the Swiss men’s team for over a decade, will be inducted as a builder.

Bergeron, from L’Ancienne Lorette, Que., is a member of the IIHF’s Triple Gold Club as the winner of an Olympic gold medal, world championship and Stanley Cup. He was the only player to win a world championship gold medal before winning a world junior men’s championship.

A two-way player who was dangerous in the offensive zone as both passer and scorer, Bergeron also won the Stanley Cup with the Boston Bruins in 2011. He played his entire 19-year, 1,294-game career with the Bruins before his retirement in 2023. Bergeron won Olympic gold medals for Canada in both 2010 and 2014.

Campbell-Pascall captained Canada to gold medals in Olympic women’s hockey in both 2002 and 2006. She won eight world championship gold medals during a career in which she started out as a defender before switching to forward.

Campbell-Pascall, from Brampton, Ont., broke ground as the first woman to provide NHL colour commentary on Hockey Night in Canada, which she did alongside Bob Cole in 2006. She’s now a special adviser for the Professional Women’s Hockey League.
