These are great deserving class members! Here are some stats provided by NHL.com: 

Hossa was a three-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks (2010, 2013, 2015) who also reached the Stanley Cup Final with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2008 and Detroit Red Wings in 2009. He is the only player to play in the Cup Final in three straight seasons with three teams. He had to cut his career short due to a skin condition, and ended up scoring 1,134 points (525 goals, 609 assists) in 1,309 games. 

As for Iginla, the former Calgary Flames captain scored 1,300 points (625 goals, 675 assists) in 1,554 games in his 21-year NHL career. The forward is 14th in NHL games, tied for 16th in goals with Hall of Famer Joe Sakic, 34th in points, and ninth in game-winning goals (101). Iginla won the Art Ross Trophy as the top scorer in the NHL, and the Rocket Richard Trophy as the top goal-scorer in 2001-02, when he scored 96 points (52 goals, 44 assists). He won the Richard Trophy again in 2003-04 with 41 goals, tied for the NHL lead with Rick Nash and Ilya Kovalchuk. He had 12 straight full NHL seasons with at least 30 goals from 2000-14 (excluding the 2012-13 shortened season). Iginla won a gold medal with Canada at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics and 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and helped Canada win the IIHF World Championship in 1997, the IIHF World Junior Championship in 1996, and the World Cup of Hockey in 2004.

Lowe and Wilson had to wait much longer to get in. Wilson was first eligible in 1996, while Lowe could have first appeared on a ballot in 2001.

Lowe was the teammate of Hall of Famers Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Glenn Anderson, Paul Coffey and Grant Fuhr. The defenseman is a six-time Stanley Cup champion and played in seven NHL All-Star Games. He scored 431 points (84 goals, 347 assists) in 1,254 regular-season games and 58 points (10 goals, 48 assists) in 214 playoff games. He never won the Norris Trophy but was widely considered one of the best defenseman of his generation and a key member of the Oilers' 1980s dynasty.

Wilson won the Norris Trophy in 1981-82, when he scored 85 points (39 goals, 46 assists) in 76 games. He is the Chicago Blackhawks leader among defensemen in goals (225), assists (554), points (779), power-play goals (80), power-play points (355), shorthanded goals (nine) and game-winning goals (22). Wilson ranks 15th among NHL defenseman with 827 points (237 goals, 590 assists) in 1,024 games. Now San Jose Sharks general manager, he never won the Stanley Cup.

As for St-Pierre, she was Team Canada’s backstop for more than a decade, from 1998 through 2011. She shares the record with Charline Labonte for most Olympic gold medals by a goaltender with three, though St. Pierre holds the distinction of being undefeated (8-0-0) with a staggering 0.78 goals against-average in Olympic competition.She also holds the World Championship records for most medals (five gold, four silver), shutouts (13) and longest shutout sequence (430:09), which spanned four tournaments.

The Oilers' current general manager Ken Holland gets the nod in the builder category. The 64-year-old has been at the helm of an NHL team consecutively since 1997. Prior to his gig as GM in Detroit, he served as the Red Wings’ director of scouting for seven years. He managed to lead the Wings to four Stanley Cups, including three as general manager (1998, 2002, 2008) and one as assistant general manager (1997). During his time in Detroit, before being hired by the Oilers in 2019, the Red Wings won more regular season and playoff games than any team in hockey.

What a class!
