Not in Hall of Fame News
The United States Hockey Hall of Fame has added five new members to its institution. In our eyes, there are two co-headliners, that being Doug Weight and Bill Guerin.
Weight played for nineteen seasons with seven different NHL clubs. He finished his career with 1,033 career points, a Stanley Cup Ring with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006, and the King Clancy award in 2011. Like Weight, Bill Guerin is a four time NHL All Star. The Right Winger won two Stanley Cups (1995 New Jersey & 2009 Pittsburgh) and was once a Second Team All-Star Selection. The two American were teammates on three U.S. Olympic squads.
The two players are joined by Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos Jr., former Michigan State men's coach Ron Mason and women's star Cindy Curley.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com congratulate these five selections to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.
A New Logo for NIHOF
Jul 22, 2013

Not in Hall of Fame News
Here is something you may not have noticed….. We here at Notinhalloffame.com have altered our logo a tad. With the new design of the website, the logo has taken a bit of a smaller profile; however it is a design that is meant to fluctuate.
In our first incarnation, the four profiled were Alice Cooper, Don Cherry, Randy “Macho Man” Savage and Pete Rose. Cooper would receive his first nomination and subsequent induction shortly after our initial logo. We replaced Alice with Rush, and we actually thought that the Canadians would stay on the logo for a few years. We were pleasantly surprised that they were inducted, and were happy to remove them.
As such, we are here to launch our third version of the Notinhalloffame.com logo. In Rush’s place is KISS, a band who will always have a top ten spot on our list, and is likely to remain out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for an extended period of time. The new logo also has Barry Bonds in place of Pete Rose. Although the “Hit King” has not entered the Hall, and is banned from Baseball, Bonds is the top player of the PED era, and the man with the career Home Run record appears to be forever banished from Cooperstown. As such, we thought, this was an effective change.
Gang, there is a lot more coming on this site, and we can’t wait to show you what is coming next!

The 2013 Hockey HOF Class is selected.

Today the Hockey Hall of Fame has announced their Class of 2013, with three players, a builder and a female player.
In our eyes, the star of the star of this year’s class is our #2 Selection on the NIHOF list, Chris Chelios. The three time Norris Trophy winner and three time Stanley Cup Champion enters the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. The American Defenceman also led his country to World Cup Gold in 1996.
Our #5 Selection and current NHL Head of Hockey Discipline, Brendan Shanahan was also selected. This was his second year of eligibility, and was one of the most complete players of his time. Frankly, we thought he was going to get in last year.
The neutral zone trap is represented well by Scott Niedermayer who also enters in his first year of eligibility. Niedermayer was the consummate winner, as he is the only hockey player to win the Stanley Cup, Memorial Cup, Olympics, World Cup, World Junior and IIHF World. The Defenceman is also a Norris Trophy winner and Conn Smythe Award winner. We had him ranked at #6.
The group is rounded out by Fred Shero, who twice coached the famed “Broad Street Bullies” in Philadelphia to two Stanley Cups. Female hockey player, Geraldine Heaney was also selected, making her the third woman to enter the Hall.
Next year three large notables become eligible in Dominik Hasek, Peter Forsberg and Mike Modano; all of which have first year Eligibility resumes. This will make it more difficult for perceived snubs like Eric Lindros, Theoron Fleury and Dave Andreychuk to get in next year.
We congratulate this Class, and we will have the 2014 list up on our site by August 1, 2013.
