Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 2026
Induction ceremony · Hockey Hall of Fame · Allen Lambert Galleria, Brookfield Place, Toronto · 2026
The Hockey Hall of Fame’s 2026 Induction Ceremony, staged in the Allen Lambert Galleria at Brookfield Place in Toronto. We designed and flew the lighting and rigging for a show that ran live to the room and to broadcast.
The brief
An induction night has two audiences: the guests seated in the galleria and the viewers watching the broadcast. The lighting had to look right to both. And it had to hang from the roof of a six-storey glass atrium that is a public thoroughfare by day and was never built to carry a show.
What we built
We suspended a full lighting and rigging system from the galleria roof: 17,250 lbs in total, reviewed and signed off by a structural engineer before a single point went up.
From it, we lit the stage and the ceremony’s signature arch for camera, and washed the atrium’s white steel columns in colour so the building itself became part of the set.
The show ran to a timed rundown, live to the house and to broadcast, with our lighting team on the console throughout.
The result
The class of 2026 was inducted on Monday, November 9, 2026, in front of a full galleria and a national broadcast audience.
