The Hockey Hall of Fame was founded in 1943 to establish a memorial to those who have developed Canada's great winter sport -- ice hockey.
Incorporated in 1983, Hockey Hall of Fame and Museum ("HHFM") exists in order to honour and preserve the history of the game of ice hockey, and in particular, those who have made outstanding contributions and achievements in the development of the game.

HHFM will collect, preserve, research, exhibit and promote all those objects, images and histories which are determined to be significant to the story of ice hockey in Canada, and throughout the world.

HHFM will carry out its exhibition activities both in its facility at BCE Place, Toronto and whenever permissible through outreach programs.

HHFM is a non-profit corporation without share capital and a Registered Charity under the Income Tax Act (Canada).
