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 first ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 1 to 10:

11. Keith Tkachuk
12. Bernie Nicholls
13. Henrik Zetterberg
14. Ryan Getzlaf*
15. Carey Price*
16. P.K. Subban*
17. J.C. Tremblay
18. Ryan Miller
19. Lorne Chabot
20. Dave Taylor 

*Denotes First Year of Eligibility

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our congratulations to the newest IIHF inductees.

With the Detroit Red Wings for his entire career, we have Henrik Zetterberg, another example of the Detroit brass's brilliant scouting.

Despite playing his entire career in an Original Six city, Henrik Zetterberg had a brilliant under the radar career.  The Swedish Centre was the runner-up for the Calder Trophy in 2003 and two seasons later he would develop into one of the most well rounded players in the National Hockey League.

A very significant retirement took place as Henrik Zetterberg of the Detroit Red Wings has announced that he is done playing hockey. Zetterberg has a degenerative back condition that can not be cured by rest or surgery and he opted to end playing so that he increase his quality of life in his later years.

Playing his entire NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings, Zetterberg was a seventh round pick from Sweden who was not forecasted to have a career as successful as it was. The runner-up for the Calder Trophy in the 2002-03 season, Zetterberg would blossom into an excellent two way player who was a constant threat to win the Frank J. Selke Award as the best Defensive Forward. While that award escaped his trophy case he would be named a Second Team All Star in 2007-08, which has to be considered the best season of his career. Not only was he a Second Team All Star, he helped Detroit win the Stanley Cup and in the process he was named the Conn Smythe Trophy winner.

Internationally speaking, Zetterberg helped Sweden win both the 2006 Olympic and World Championship and after the 2008 Stanley Cup win he became a member of the “Triple Gold Club”.

He retires with 960 Points in 1,082 Games played in the NHL.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Henrik Zetterberg the best in his post-playing career.
