The United States Hockey Hall of Fame has announced the next four members of their institution.

The Class of 2016 will comprise:

Chris Drury

Drury was a former NHL Centre who scored over 600 Points and was a member of the 2001 Stanley Cup Championship Team with the Colorado Avalanche.  Drury would win the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie in 1999, the year after he would capture the Hobey Baker Award as MVP in NCAA. Internationally, he would represent the United States in three Olympics (winning two Silver Medals), the 2004 World Cup of Hockey and in three World Championships.

Mathieu Schneider

A twenty-one year veteran of the NHL, the Defenceman had 743 Points in 1,289 Games and was a member of the 1993 Stanley Cup Champion Montreal Canadians.  Schneider would be a part of the 1996 World Cup of Hockey Team and was a three time Olympian.

Angela Ruggerio

A fifteen year member of the U.S. National Women’s Hockey Team, Ruggerio suited up for more than 250 Games internationally where the Defenceman was part of four World Championships and an Olympic Gold Medal. 

Ron DeGregorio

The President of U.S.A. Hockey for the last dozen years and the recipient of the Lester Patrick award in 2003.

The ceremony will official take place in Boston on December 17 of this year.



We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the new class of the United States Hockey Hall of Fame, and applaud their growth over the past ten years. 

In between the deaths of WWE Hall of Famers, Dusty Rhodes and Roddy Piper, a former title holder in the WWE retired to little fanfare.

The winner of the 2006 WWE Diva Search and former WWE Woman’s Champion and Diva’s Champion, Layla El has announced that she will be retiring from professional wrestling at the age of 38.

The former England born Miami Heat cheerleader, did not make that much of a splash after debuting in the WWE, and really wasn’t focused much until she was moved to the ECW brand and was paired with Brooke and Kelly Kelly as “Extreme Expose”, a dance troupe who did get somewhat regular television time on the E’s third brand.  The group would disband and while she would wrestle on occasion but it was not until she was drafted to RAW where she would be able to show a little more of her personality.

It was shown initially with a pairing with Steven Regal and that heel persona would serve her even better on Smackdown where her pairing with Michelle McCool as “LayCool” was easily the highlight of both of their careers. 

Layla’s retirement asks us this question…is she a WWE Hall of Famer?

Our gut instinct is that she is not, and while she is a former women’s champion and someone who helped change the ethnic makeup of the women’s roster, the fact was that she was just a passable wrestler and we are not even sure that she makes our top 300 list once we revise that in the upcoming year.



Wrestling fans, we would love to hear your take on this one!



Don’t you love it when the people talk and Halls of Fame listen?

Roughly a week ago, the Professional Football Hall of Fame stated that Sydney Seau, the daughter of Junior Seau, the late Linebacker who was chosen for Canton on his first year of eligibility, would not be speaking when inducting her dad.  The Hall had cited a previous (and little known) rule that was instituted in 2010 where a deceased player would not have a substitute speaker accept on their behalf. 

As all of you know, the perceived belief from fans and media alike was that the Hall was concerned (and possibly pressured by the NFL) that due to Seau’s death by suicide brought on from CTE conditions that Sydney Seau would bring up the cause of his death.  It should be noted that Sydney had claimed on multiple occasions that she would not do not do so.  Clearly the backlash brought unintended attention to the issue of head trauma in football, which was what they were trying to avoid all along.

It is reported now, that Sydney will be allowed to accept the enshrinement on her father’s behalf, a decision that should have made all along.



While we here at Notinhalloffame.com hate how they arrived in this decision, we are glad that the Pro Football Hall of Fame made the right call.



The Montreal Canadians have announced that they will be closing their franchise’s Hall of Fame as of August 30 of this year.

The home of the Habs, The Bell Center, is closing that portion of the facility to concentrate on renovations that “will enhance the fan experience” at the facility.  With the impending close of the Hall, the institution has announced that fans can visit it at no cost until the end of the month.

The Habs will be redeploying the memorabilia around the Bell Center or will be given back to those who originally provided the items to begin with. 

While it was not announced, we are certain that an organization with the tradition and the class of the Montreal Canadians will have a dedicated facility in the future that will again celebrate the team’s past.
