100 Greatest NHL Players
NHL players list
In 2017, the National Hockey League commemorated its 100th anniversary with a list of the 100 Greatest NHL Players.[1] The list was made through voting compiled by a panel of 58 people, including media members, NHL alumni and NHL executives.[2][3] The list is in alphabetical order rather than ranked.
The first 33, representing players who started NHL play anytime from 1917 to 1966, were unveiled during a pre-game ceremony at the NHL Centennial Classic outdoor game on January 1, 2017.[2] The remaining players, who started their NHL careers during the second 50 years, were announced on January 27, 2017, at a special NHL 100 Gala ceremony held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, two days before the 2017 NHL All-Star Game.[4]
