Tom Barrasso, longtime Penguins goalie, to join Hockey Hall of Fame
Tom Barrasso, a two-time Stanley Cup-winning goaltender with the Pittsburgh Penguins, will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Barrasso was among the seven-member Class of 2023 announced Wednesday.
Barrasso arrived in Pittsburgh in a 1988 trade with Buffalo and helped the Penguins win their first Stanley Cup three years later. The Pens repeated as champs in 1992, again with Barrasso in goal.
Barrasso was traded from Pittsburgh to Ottawa in 2000. He also played for Carolina, Toronto and St. Louis before retiring in 2003.
Two other goalies – Henrik Lundqvist and Mike Vernon – will join Barrasso in the Hall of Fame this year.
Also being inducted with the Class of 2023 are Pierre Turgeon, Caroline Oullette, Ken Hitchcock and the late Pierre Lacroix.
