context_page_description: In 1997 the International Ice Hockey Federation established the IIHF Hall of Fame in Zürich, Switzerland. The IIHF Hall of Fame is intended to honor individuals who have made valuable contributions both internationally and in their home countries. The first class, which was composed of Paul Loicq, plus 30 other individuals, was introduced during the 1997 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. Members are inducted into the Hall under three separate categories: Player, Referee, and Builder. There are 230 inductees as of 2020.
  The IIHF and the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, agreed on a long-term contract whereby the Hockey Hall of Fame became the permanent residence for the IIHF Hall of Fame. On 29 June 1998, the Hockey Hall of Fame opened its newly revamped Exhibition Center containing an international area known as the World of Hockey Zone, which houses the exhibits for the IIHF Hall of Fame.
  The IIHF also recognizes individuals by other awards not inducting the recipient into the Hall of Fame. The Paul Loicq Award is presented to a person who has made "outstanding contributions to the IIHF and international ice hockey".
