The Hockey Hall of Fame has announced the seven names who will comprise the Class of 2024

Colin Campbell, Natalie Darwitz, Pavel Datsyuk, David Polle, Jeremy Roenick, Shea Weber, and Krissy Wendell-Pohl were chosen for the Toronto-based institution.

Colin Campbell had an 11-year career as a player, but he entered as a builder.  A Stanley Cup winner in 1994 as an Assistant Coach with the Rangers, Campbell took over as the NHL’s Senior Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations in 1998.

Natalie Darwitz was a three-time All-American at the University of Minnesota, leading the Golden Gophers to back-to-back National Championships.  Darwitz was on multiple U.S. National Teams, and won three World Championship Gold Medals.

Pavel Datsyuk, from Russia, played his entire NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings (2001-16) scoring 918 Points and helping his club win two Stanley Cups.  Datsyuk was one of the best defensive forwards of his day, winning three Frank J. Selke Awards and the Lady Byng Trophy four times.  He was also named to the NHL 100^th Anniversary Team.  Internationally, he won Gold at the 2018 Olympics and the 2012 World Hockey Championship.

David Poile took over as Washington’s General Manager in 1983 and held that role for 15 years before signing on with the expansion Nashville Predators.  He brought them to their first Stanley Cup Final in 2016, and when he retired last year, he had the most wins of any GM in NHL history. 

Jeremy Roenick finally enters the Hall after 12 years of eligibility.  Roenick scored 513 Goals and 1,216 Points over 20 seasons.  The American played for Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and San Jose and has Silver Medals in the 2002 Olympics and the 1991 Canada Cup.

Shea Weber was one of the best defencemen of the 2010s, having earned two First Team All-Stars and two Second Teams.  While Weber never won the Norris trophy, he finished in the top ten nine seasons in a row.  Weber also won the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2015-16, which was also his last year in Nashville (he finished his career with Montreal).  Internationally, Weber won two Olympic Gold Medals (2010 & 2014), and also Gold in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.  

Krissy Wendell-Pohl scored 133 Points in two years at the University of Minnesota, where she won the 2005 Patty Kazmaier Award.  She would win Gold in the 2005 Worlds and also owns an Olympic Silver and Bronze Medal.

We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the impending members of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

The Chairman (Evan Nolan) and Evan Nolan look at franchise Halls of Fame and the antics of Jeremy Roenick.

Jeremy Roenick made a claim as one of the greatest American born forwards in hockey history and luckily for the Chicago Blackhawks it was there where he was the most productive.

As always we here at Notinhalloffame.com remain focused on our core lists of which those who are not in the Hockey Hall of Fame is one. We have now updated that list and have expanded it to 125, with an intention to grow it to 150 in the fall of the year.

Two names were removed from our list, Martin Brodeur (#1) and Martin St. Louis (#3) as both were chosen for the Hockey Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility and as such we again have a new number one on our list. Every year we have new entries of former players who are now eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame but for the first time none of the new entries crack our top ten.

Our entire Notinhalloffame.com Hockey List can be found here, but in the meantime here is our new Top Ten:

Alexander Mogilny goes to #1 for the first time and jumped from #4. In the 1992-93 season, “Alexander the Great” scored 76 Goals and he was a two time Second Team All Star as well a six time All Star. Mogilny would win an Olympic Gold Medal in 1988 with the Soviet Union and a Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils in 2000.

Don Cherry stays at #2. While the dynamic personality remains polarizing there is no doubt that he is an iconic figure in the game. The host of “Coach’s Corner” is a former Jack Adams Trophy winner himself.

Theoren Fleury moved up from #5 to #3. Fleury was a seven time All Star who led the Calgary Flames to the Stanley Cup in 1989. He is also an Olympic Gold Medalist with Team Canada in 2002.

Jeremy Roenick climbed from #8 to #6. Roenick is the highest ranked American on our list and he is a nine time All Star. He is a member of the 1,200 Point Club.

Richter is a three time All Star, a Stanley Cup winner with the New York Rangers (1994) and a World Cup of Hockey Champion (1996) where he was the MVP.

As always we here at Notinhalloffame.com encourage all of you to take a look at our updates and give us your opinions and cast your votes.

It was not that long ago that the Hockey Hall of Fame selected four former National Hockey League players to their institution, all of which were ranked in our top ten on our Notinhalloffame.com Hockey List. They are Teemu Selanne (#1), Paul Kariya (#3), Mark Recchi (#4) and Dave Andreychuk (#10). As such it is time for us to present our new list of those to consider for the Hockey Hall of Fame for 2018.

When putting together any new list we obviously remove the recently inducted but add on those who we consider worthy. We also look at the opinions that all of you have given and the votes you cast on each former player on the list.

Let’s get right to it shall we?

Debuting on our list at #1 is Goalie, Martin Brodeur. The long time New Jersey Devil did it all in the NHL, including winning the Calder, the Vezina four times and winning three Stanley Cups and an Olympic Gold Medal. He should be a first ballot lock for the Hockey Hall of Fame.
