Canadian hockey legend Caroline Ouellette is part of the 2023 Hockey Hall of Fame induction class.
Canada's Caroline Ouellette was named to the 2023 Hockey Hall of Fame induction class.
During her playing career, Ouellette won four Olympic gold medals and six World Championship gold.
Playing for Canada from 1999 until 2018 Ouellette's national team career spanned decades, including a stint as national team captain. A former NCAA champion and All-American with Minnesota-Duluth, a two-time CWHL MVP with the Montreal Stars, and four-time Clarkson Cup champion, Ouellette's resume is padded beyond what men getting into the Hall could dream of achieving. In 79 Olympic and World Championship games, Ouellette recorded just under 100 points to make her one of the best forwards in national team history, and in addition to her gold, Ouellette has six World Championship silver medals.
She will be inducted to the IIHF Hall of Fame in 2023.
Six men were named to the Hall of Fame for 2023 including Henrik Lundqvist, Tom Barrasso Mike Vernon, Pierre Turgeon, Ken Hitchcock and Pierre Lacroix.
For the thirteenth consecutive year, the Hockey Hall of Fame chose not to use both spots for women.
