For generations, hockey has been more than just goals and championships. It has been about heart, sacrifice, loyalty, and the players who would do anything to protect their teammates.

The Hockey World Order is proud to announce the creation of the Hockey World Order Hall of Fame—a hall built by the fans, for the fans. This Hall of Fame will honor the players, personalities, and styles of hockey that generations grew up watching and loving.

Each year, HWO will introduce new categories celebrating every era of the game. Some honors will recognize legends of the past, while others will celebrate current players who embody the spirit of hockey.

Inaugural Category

The Enforcer

“The Man Cave”

The first wing of the Hockey World Order Hall of Fame is The Man Cave—reserved for the toughest men to ever lace up a pair of skates.

These were the players who stood up for teammates, changed the momentum of games, brought energy to their clubs, and earned the respect of fans across the hockey world.
