gold star for USAHOF

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 51 to 60:

51. Andre Lacroix
52. Markus Naslund
53. Pat Verbeek
54. Gary Suter
55. Rick Tocchet
56. Garry Unger
57. Alex Kovalev
58. Jason Spezza
59. Vincent Damphousse
60. Ron Hextall

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 and basketball lists.

Pat Verbeek was the First Pick of the Third Round in 1982, and the Right Wing was a permanent member of the roster in his second year as a professional.

53. Pat Verbeek

Although many people have laced up the skates for the New Jersey Devils, there were many who thought that Pat Verbeek may very well be one. Verbeek was a tough player who logged over 2,500 in penalty minutes and was as pesky a player as they came. Verbeek could put the puck in the net and scored 522 goals in his career. There are a few players on this list who cracked the 1,000 point mark, but pound for pound there were few on the level of Pat Verbeek.
