- Read below for the induction ceremony details and what Shea Weber said about the class
Patrice Bergeron got his Hall of Fame blazer on Sunday, and Toronto gave him a warm welcome for it.
Bruins legend Ray Bourque presented the jacket to Bergeron at center ice before the Maple Leafs and Devils game. The crowd at Scotiabank Arena stood and cheered as Bergeron slipped it on.
Watch the moment:
Carey Price got his own jacket the same night as part of induction weekend. Here’s the moment Price put it on:
The formal induction ceremony happens Monday night at 7:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on NHL Network and TSN. Bergeron and Price go in alongside Pekka Rinne, Keith Tkachuk and Cindy Curley in the player category, plus Brian Burke as a builder. We broke down the full 2026 class back in June.
Bergeron spent all 19 of his NHL seasons in Boston and won a record six Selke Trophies as the league’s best defensive forward. He also helped the Bruins win the Stanley Cup in 2011 and wore the captain’s “C” at the end of his career.
Former teammate Shea Weber was in Toronto for the weekend and talked to NHL.com about what Bergeron brought to Team Canada. Weber played with him at the 2005 World Juniors, the 2010 and 2014 Olympics and the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, and Canada won gold at every one.
“As a defenseman, you want to be in control of situations,” Weber said. “As a forward, a center, defensively he controlled it. He knew exactly where he was all the time.”
Weber also saw Price up close for five seasons in Montreal. They live less than 10 minutes apart in Kelowna, B.C. Price recently talked about the toughest player he ever faced ahead of his induction.
The Bruins also posted a tribute to the two Quebec natives who are now Hockey Hall of Famers:
Bergeron’s No. 37 goes to the rafters in Boston on Dec. 1.
