“We officially welcome the 2025 ECHL Hall of Fame class; Glen Thornborough, Alex Burrows, Dave Gagnon, & Jamey Hicks 👏🏼“

Alex Burrows had an impressive hockey career that began in the ECHL with the Greenville Grrrowl during the 2002-03 season, where he scored a total of 111 points (47 goals and 64 assists) in 134 games.

He moved on to the AHL’s Manitoba Moose in the 2004-05 season and made his NHL debut with the Vancouver Canucks in 2005.

Throughout his 13-year NHL career with the Canucks and the Ottawa Senators, Burrows recorded 409 points (205 goals and 204 assists) in 913 games.

After retiring, he transitioned into coaching, initially serving as an assistant coach in both the AHL and NHL. He is currently a player development consultant for the Montreal Canadiens.

Dave Gagnon was a standout goaltender in ECHL history, ranking seventh with 272 career appearances and 155 wins, and tied for 13th with 14 shutouts.

Over nine seasons with Hampton Roads, Toledo, and Roanoke, he achieved a record of 155-76-27, a goals-against average of 2.90, and a save percentage of .907.

Gagnon excelled in the postseason, winning Riley Cup Championships with Hampton Roads in 1991 and Toledo in 1994, and earning Playoff MVP honors both times.

His 41 playoff appearances rank eighth among ECHL goaltenders, while his 27 postseason wins are the sixth highest all-time.

Jamey Hicks was a prolific scorer in the ECHL, accumulating a total of 480 points, which includes 162 goals and 318 assists, over 352 games during six seasons with Birmingham and Arkansas.

He scored 30 or more goals in four of his five complete seasons. In the 1997-98 season, Hicks led the league with 119 points, comprising 44 goals and 75 assists.

His outstanding performance earned him All-ECHL First Team honours and the MVP award for that season. Additionally, he achieved a remarkable 32-game point streak, which ranks as the third-longest in ECHL history.

Glen Thornborough played a crucial role in the growth of the ECHL during his tenure from 2000 to 2008, eventually becoming the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Licensing.

He significantly increased revenues for ECHL Properties, established lasting partnerships, and helped create the first Team Business Services department among major professional hockey leagues.

Thornborough was key in securing television coverage for the ECHL All-Star Game on ESPN2 and later on the NHL Network. After leaving the ECHL, he spent nearly five years with CCM/Reebok before joining the Boston Bruins and TD Garden in 2013, where he currently serves as President of TD Garden and Chief Operating Officer of the Boston Bruins.
