When a student athelete at the University of Minnesota earns their first varsity letter they become a member of the University of Minnesota "M" Club.  Every year since 1981, the "M" Club has accepted nominations for a "M" Club member to be inducted into the "M" Club Hall of Fame.

So far, there have been 47 Gopher hockey players inducted into the Hall of Fame.  Some players entered the Hall of Fame as a Lifetime Achievement Award recipient or for another sport they participated in while at the university.

Along with the 47 players, two other people associated with Gopher hockey have been inducted as Hall of Fame recipients.  In 2007, former Gopher coach (1966-1971), Glenn Sonmor entered the "M" Club Hall of Fame.  In 2010, former team physician (1958-1992) Dr. V. George Nagabonds entered the "M" Club Hall of Fame.
