The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football Hockey and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 71 to 80:

71. Bob Baun
72. Brent Sutter
73. Dale Hunter
74. Don Marshall
75. Eric Desjardins
76. Eddie Shack
77. Adam Foote
78. Stephane Richer
79. Doug Weight
80. Tim Thomas

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football, hockey and basketball lists.

He may not be on this list for his career statistics, which although were good (465 career points over 17 years) to do not indicate a Hall of Famer, but Eddie Shack was one of the true characters of the game and at times the most popular. Shack could always be counted to deliver a unique interview and perspective that was different from his contemporaries. Shack was even the subject a novelty song (Clear the Track, Here Comes Eddie Shack) that went to number one in the Canadian charts. Shack was to many a “novelty” player himself but anyone who can last as long as he did is certainly no gimmick.
