Welcome to the 2018 Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Weekend. The four-day celebration features the Hall of Fame game, a fan Q&A with honorees, a legends game and the inductions of the Class of 2018: NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and NHL diversity ambassador Willie O'Ree in the Builders category, and former players Martin Brodeur, Jayna Hefford, Martin St. Louis and Alexander Yakushev.
