The Hockey Hall of Fame

Since 1993, the Hockey Hall of Fame has been housed in the former Bank of Montreal building. A tribute to Canada’s national sport, it was meant to open over 200 km away in Kingston, the city believed to be the birthplace of hockey, but the Hall of Fame was ultimately established in Toronto on August 26, 1961. The museum features countless artifacts and trophies dedicated to the history and study of this legendary ice sport, showcasing its greatest achievements. One of the main highlights is seeing the iconic Stanley Cup with your own eyes, a cherished emblem and the ultimate symbol of excellence for any team—an experience that alone is worth the entry fee. After all, you can always pay the price for something you love! Another must-see is the exact replica of the Montreal Canadiens’ dressing room, often considered the most inspiring room in the hockey world. You can almost feel the physical and mental preparation of the players before they hit the ice, adrenaline pumping through their veins! Whether you’re a die-hard hockey fan or just curious, this journey through the sport’s legendary figures—verified by a jury each year—promises to be an exhilarating experience!
