Alexander Mogilny played three seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the 2000s, and after 16 years of waiting, he has finally made the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Today, the Hockey Hall of Fame announced its class for 2025. There were a ton of names on the ballot this year, and fans were eager to see who would make it.
Stanley Cup champion and former 76-goal scorer Alexander Mogilny was on the ballot for the 16th time, and there was a lot of fanfare around him getting in.
His three seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs were a lot of fun, and there is no doubt that the fans in Toronto wanted to see him get in.

When you look at all of his accolades below, it is easy to see why so many wanted to see him make it to the Hall of Fame.
In his 16th(!!) year of eligibility, Alexander Mogilny has finally been voted into the Hockey Hall of Fame ...

▫️Over 1,000 career points in 990 career games
▫️ Scored 76 goals in the '92-'93 season
▫️ The first NHL player to defect from the Soviet Union
This was long overdue, but we are just happy to see that it finally happened. There isn't a guy more deserving.
Interestingly enough, Carey Price was snubbed and will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Although he hasn't exactly officially retired yet.
Whatever the case may be, this is a strong class, and we cannot wait to see everyone's speeches.
