Detroit Red Wings great and two-time Stanley Cup-winning winger Pavel Datsyuk was named to the 2024 Hockey Hall of Fame class Tuesday.
Datsyuk is joined by forward Jeremy Roenick, who had been eligible for more than a decade.
Datsyuk is part of the seven-member class of 2024, the first to include two women's players since 2010. It's the first class with two U.S. women's players in the hall's history: Natalie Darwitz and Krissy Wendell-Pohl.
"Congratulations to Pavel on this extremely well-deserved honor," said Red Wings Executive Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman in a statement. "Pavel's world-class skills made him one of the best one-on-one players of all time, but his high-end compete and work ethic separated him from his peers. He was a dynamic force who excelled at both ends of the ice and in all situations. He was an exceptional player and will rightfully take his place amongst the game's greats in November."
Datsyuk and defenseman Shea Weber were elected in their first year of eligibility. Longtime executives Colin Campbell and David Poile were chosen in the builder category.
