Shea Weber will be honored with his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame, a well-deserved recognition for his illustrious career.

Carey Price, on the other hand, will become eligible next season since it has not yet been three years since his last participation. It is worth noting that he attempted a comeback at the end of the 2021-22 season. However, this does not prevent Carey from joining the Hall this year, specifically the British Columbia Hockey Hall of Fame.
These two former teammates thus receive a fully deserved tribute, having been exemplary figures for their home province and national pride.
"The hockey community in British Columbia has become profoundly enriched, and we celebrate another remarkably deserving class.

Our inductees hail from Sicamous, Anahim Lake, Abbotsford, Vernon, and Fort St. This provincial group offers fantastic stories of major contributions to the sport.

Weber, selected 49th overall by the Nashville Predators in the 2003 NHL Draft, is one of hockey's most versatile defensemen. He began his junior career after playing minor hockey in his hometown of Sicamous, joining the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL at age 16 in the 2001-2002 season, where he won the Memorial Cup in 2003-2004.

Among his many achievements, Weber received the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2015-16 and amassed 589 points in regular-season play with the Predators and Montreal Canadiens over 1,038 career games.

He added 42 points in 97 Stanley Cup playoff games, helping the Canadiens reach the final.

In 2015, Carey Price accomplished something not seen since Dominik Hasek in 1998 - he won the Hart Trophy, Vezina Trophy, and Ted Lindsay Award, in addition to sharing the William H. Jennings Trophy with Corey Crawford of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Price was inspired by Patrick Roy's style of play, and in 2018, he surpassed the legendary Canadiens goaltender with his 290th career win in a 3-0 shutout against the Boston Bruins.

Price has compiled 361 wins and 261 losses in 712 regular-season NHL games, adding 43 wins in 92 Stanley Cup playoff games. He led the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup Final in the 2020-21 season alongside Weber."

Two great men, two great leaders, two great players who won Olympic gold together and came within three victories of winning the Stanley Cup together.
