Dustin Brown, Jamie Langenbrunner Headline 2023 U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Class

Former Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Brown and former New Jersey Devils winger Jamie Langenbrunner are receiving the ultimate honor from USA Hockey.

The former NHLers will be inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in the Class of 2023 alongside Olympic gold medalist Katie King Crowley, executive Brian Burke and referee Brian Murphy, USA Hockey announced Friday.

"It's an amazing class and a group that truly reflects extraordinary," USA Hockey president Mike Trimboli said, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN). "Their accomplishments are varied and far-reaching, and the positive impact they've had on the game -- and will continue to have -- will no doubt benefit generations to come."

Brown, a two-time Stanley Cup champion and two-time Olympian, spent his entire 18-year NHL career with the Kings, helping the franchise capture two Stanley Cup titles alongside Jonathan Quick and defenseman Drew Doughty.

The 38-year-old notched 325 goals and 387 assists for 712 points in 1,296 games with the Kings. He retired after the 2021-22 season and had his No. 23 retired and raised to the rafters in Los Angeles in February 2023.

Brown also won silver at the 2010 Olympics and represented the United States on numerous occasions.

Langenbrunner spent his 18-year NHL career with the Devils, Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues before retiring after the 2012-13 season. He won two Stanley Cups, first with the Stars in 1999 and with the Devils in 2003.

The 48-year-old tallied 243 goals and 420 assists for 663 points in 1,109 games during his NHL career. He was also a member of the 2010 USA silver medal-winning squad alongside Brown.

Burke has worked in the NHL since 1987 when he began as director of hockey operations for the Vancouver Canucks. He has also served as general manager of the Hartford Whalers, the USA's World Championship team and the country's 2010 Olympic team.

The 68-year-old has also served in a variety of roles for the Anaheim Ducks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames and Pittsburgh Penguins. He will serve as an advisor for the newly formed Professional Women's Hockey League in 2024.

Crowley won Olympic gold with the United States women's national team in 1998 and also brought home a silver medal in 2002 and a bronze medal in 2006. She also won five silver medals with the USA's World Championship team.

Murphy has officiated more than 2,000 NHL regular season games—one of two Americans to do so—and he has also officiated nine Stanley Cup finals. Internationally, he officiated the 2004 and 2016 World Cup of Hockey and the 2010 Olympics.
