The Hockey Hall of Fame has said that the class of 2020 will be properly honoured in 2021. In order to do that, there will be no class of 2021.
The class of 2020 includes Jarome Iginla, Kevin Lowe, Marian Hossa, Doug Wilson, Kim St. Pierre, and Ken Holland. The 2021 class featured a comparatively weak first year eligible group of Henrik and Daniel Sedin and Henrik Zetterberg.
Of course, they could still very much be inducted in their first year of eligibility. It's just that their first year will now be 2022 instead of 2021.
Roberto Luongo was going to headline the list of first year eligible players in 2022.
There could be room for some of them too as the Hockey Hall of Fame has plenty of time to decide if they will increase the allowable amount of inductees for 2022 given the missed class of 2021.
