Syracuse Club Sports

The Syracuse Men's Hockey Hall of Fame was established in 2019 to celebrate the program's 60th season. It stands as a tribute to the program's rich history and enduring legacy dating back to 1959. Created to honor the individuals who have shaped the team over generations, the Hall of Fame serves as a lasting reminder of the tradition, excellence, and pride that define Syracuse Men's Hockey. Each year, players and coaches who have made a significant impact on the program are recognized for their contributions during the team's annual Alumni Weekend, ensuring their achievements are celebrated and remembered forever.

Currently, there are 53 individuals and 10 teams that have been inducted into the Syracuse Men's Hockey Hall of Fame.

Additionally, 8 individuals have been recognized with the Richard Van Winkle Award - presented to the Syracuse University Men's Ice Hockey player, alumnus, or staff member who has demonstrated leadership on and off the ice and has made significant contribution to the development of the team and the maintenance of its legacy.
