Not in Hall of Fame

Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Bill Hay passed away at 88.

From Saskatchewan, Hay played eight seasons in the NHL, all with the Chicago Black Hawks, where he was the 1960 Calder Trophy winner and helped his squad win the 1961 Stanley Cup.  As a player, Hay scored a respectable 386 Points in 506 Games.

Following his playing career, Hay entered the oil business, but the lure of hockey brought him back.  He served as the President and CEO of Hockey Canada and was the head of Hockey Canada.  Hay also was a past voter for the Hockey Hall of Fame. 

Hay entered the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder in 2015, joining his father, Charles, who was also inducted as a builder (1974).

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to Bill Hay's fans, friends, and family.
