Which Current PWHL Players Will Someday Be Hall of Fame Bound?

With the dawn of the PWHL, how the Hockey Hall of Fame selects women's hockey candidates will forever be changed. Here's a look at a group of current PWHL players who could become future Hockey Hall of Fame inductees.

With the dawn of the PWHL, how players are evaluated for the Hockey Hall of Fame will be changed forever. International accolades used to be the primary determinant, and will certainly help, but achievement in the PWHL will be the women's hockey standard for Hall of Fame inclusion moving forward.

There are still players like Jenni Hiirikoski, Lara Stalder, Noora Raty, and Michelle Karvinen who could find their way into the Hall without playing in the PWHL. Hiirikoski and Raty in particular are locks. For all players moving forward, however, not only playing in the PWHL, but thriving, challenging for awards, and earning All-Star recognition will be required for a Hall of Fame career to be considered.

In the PWHL today, there are at least a half dozen future Hall of Famers who have built the international resume, and are now looking to validate it with their PWHL play.

Here's a look at the leading candidates in (and coming to) the PWHL for the Hockey Hall of Fame.
