The Hockey Hall of Fame works a little faster than other North American sports hall doesn’t it?
With only a three year waiting period after retirement from the game (playing in Europe still counts as being active), we have decided some time ago that active players over the age of thirty-five would be profiled and made available for your vote.
Rather than only mention the new entries, we are listing all of the “TBD” players who are currently in that section.
The players listed are as follows:
