The Hockey Hall of Fame 75/25 Anniversary Legends Gala presented by WestJet™, served as the marquee event and focal point of the Hockey Hall of Fame's "75/25 Anniversary Inaugural Endowment Fundraising Campaign." This grand gala was held at historic Maple Leaf Gardens (now Ryerson University’s “Mattamy Athletic Centre”) in Toronto on Monday, June 25, 2018.

Reminiscent of the Hockey Hall of Fame’s June 1993 grand opening ceremonial face-off at the corner of Yonge and Front Streets in downtown Toronto, a resounding number of Hockey Hall of Fame Honoured Members attended this truly unique and timely opportunity that brought the fraternity of hockey legends together with other special guests and entertainers for an incredible tribute to excellence in the game of hockey.

From the red carpet experience to the “Spirits” of Hockey Reception (hosted by the Toronto Maple Leafs Alumni), and from the opening “Parade of Legends” to the musical finale, the “Legends Gala” showcased a variety of engaging hockey content and complementary luminary performances.
