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 61 to 70:

61. Teppo Numminen
62. Brian Bellows
63. Sandis Ozolinsh
64. John Vanbiesbrouck
65. Wendel Clark
66. Shane Doan
67. Rick Vaive
68. Larry Aurie
69. Tim Kerr
70. Adam Graves

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.

 

As you likely know, the first season of the Colorado Avalanche after the relocation from Quebec City would see them win the Stanley Cup.  One of the mid-season trades that you think about facilitated this was the trade from Montreal of superstar Goalie, Patrick Roy.  The other less talked about one was from San Jose, the Defenseman, Sandis Ozolinsh.

Although Sandis Ozolinsh played for a plethora of NHL teams, Sandis Ozolinsh was not exactly a journeyman. The Latvian was adept at playmaking and was an excellent scoring defenseman. He finished his career playing in European leagues and though he made seven All-Star teams, there is a very good chance that he is going to be quickly forgotten by those who decide the Hall of Fame inductees.
