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. Its mandate is to recognize and honour the achievements of individuals and teams who have brought special distinction to the game of hockey and those who have made a major contribution to the development and advancement of hockey anywhere in the world. Built in 1885, the historic bank building at BCE Place, Toronto began a new era as “a cathedral for the icons of hockey" officially opened to the public on June 18, 1993.

Le Temple de la renommée du hockey a été fondé en 1943 afin de commémorer les personnes qui ont aidé à développer le grand sport d'hiver du Canada - le hockey sur glace. Son principal but est de reconnaître et d'honorer les réalisations d'individus et d'équipes qui ont brillé dans le domaine du hockey ainsi que les personnes qui ont apporté une contribution importante au développement et à l'avancement du hockey partout au monde. L'édifice bancaire historique situé à BCE Place à Toronto fut construit en 1885 et sert aujourd'hut de "cathédrale des emblemes du hockey".
