St. Louis Blues Hall of Fame Inductees for 2026
The St. Louis Blues have revealed their Hall of Fame inductees for 2026, highlighting the achievements of Alexander Steen, Barret Jackman, and Al Arbour. This announcement was made in an electrifying atmosphere during the first period of a home game at Enterprise Center against the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.
Induction Ceremony Details
The official ceremony for the Hall of Fame induction is set for January 12, where these honored players will be celebrated at the Missouri Athletic Club‘s downtown venue. Following this event, the inductees will be recognized on January 13 prior to the Blues’ game against the Carolina Hurricanes, which is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at the Enterprise Center.
Player Achievements
Alexander Steen is poised to become the Blues’ next general manager after an impressive career spanning 12 seasons with the team. Throughout his time, he amassed 496 points on 195 goals over 765 games, securing a Stanley Cup title with the team during their championship run. Steen is distinguished within the franchise, sitting fourth in all-time games played, sixth in assists and points, and tenth in goals. Notably, he is among an elite group of five players in Blues history to participate in at least 90 playoff matches.
Barret Jackman, another key figure in Blues history, enjoyed a solid 13-year career with the franchise, appearing in 803 games while netting 28 goals and accumulating 181 points. As a first-round draft pick in 1999, Jackman not only stands out for being a leading defenseman in games played but also ranks second overall for the franchise. He was recognized as a top newcomer in 2002-03 when he earned a spot on the NHL All-Rookie Team and became the first-ever winner of the Calder Trophy in Blues history. Earlier this season, he took on the role of Director of Alumni.
Al Arbour, who made his mark as the inaugural captain of the Blues, was recruited from Toronto during the 1967 expansion draft, joining the team as one of its original members. He led St. Louis to the Stanley Cup Finals in their foundational three years and achieved All-Star recognition in 1969, alongside a fifth place finish for the Norris Trophy that same year. Beyond his playing career, Arbour also took to the coaching front, guiding the Blues through parts of three seasons from 1970 to 1973, including a memorable playoff run to the NHL Semi-Finals in 1972.
