Kessel Siblings Headline U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2026
On Thursday, siblings Phil Kessel and Amanda Kessel were named to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame's class of 2026, with the pair set to be enshrined on November 30 in Washington, D.C.
Kessel played 17 NHL seasons across five teams, winning three Stanley Cups and establishing the league record for most consecutive games played at 1,064, retiring as a fan favorite.
Representing Team USA at three Olympics, Amanda Kessel won gold in 2018 and silver in 2014 and 2022, and she currently serves as assistant general manager for the AHL's Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
USA Hockey also named T.J. Oshie, Ryan Suter, and Stan Wong to the 2026 class, making the Kessels the second brother-sister pairing inducted after Tony and Cammi Granato.
Their careers reflect significant contributions to the sport across both men's and women's professional and international levels, cementing Phil and Amanda's standing among American hockey's elite.
