The NHL will welcome three giants of the game into the Hockey Hall of Fame, as well as one of winningest coaches of the past two decades. Eric Lindros, Sergei Makarov, and Rogie Vachon comprise the three player inductees for the 2016 class, and Pat Quinn joins them in the Builder Category.

The induction ceremony will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday evening. Fans in the United States can watch the festivities on the NHL Network, while those in Canada can watch on TSN2 via their TV or by streaming it here.
Lindros and Makarov amassed five Olympic gold medals between them, the former with three. Lindros’ effect on the game reached outside the rink, though, and has since become an advocate for concussion awareness after dealing with multiple injuries throughout his 13-year career. That’s part of the reason it took seven tries to gain admission to the Hall. One argument against him was that he only played in 760 games; however, he did score 372 goals and amass 865 points in that span.
It’s been nearly two years since Quinn passed, but he’s finally getting his moment. The player-turned-coach has the fifth-most wins of any (684) in 20 years of coaching, and set NHL’s longest undefeated streak (35 games) while coaching the Flyers (1979-80).
He, Lindros, and Makarov are joined by Vachon, who spent 17 years on the ice as a goaltender. He was named to three NHL All-Star Games, and took home three Stanley Cup championships. With 355 wins, he retired fifth all-time in the NHL.
