It was announced yesterday that Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, Elmer Lach passed away at the age of 97. 

Lach played all fourteen of his seasons in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Canadians and was a member of three Stanley Cup winning teams.  The former Centre would lead the NHL in scoring twice in Assists three times and retired as the all time leading scorer in the NHL with 623 Points.  Lach would also win the coveted Hart Trophy in 1945 and was a two time First Team and two time Second Team All Star. 

Lach would enter the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966 and would have his number retired by the Montreal Canadians in 2009. 

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Elmer Lach at this time.




It was a bit of surprise (or maybe not really) that former WWE Diva’s Champion, A.J. Lee abruptly announced her decision to retire from professional wrestling.  Lee had teamed with Paige at last week’s Wrestlemania to defeat the Bella Twins and is a former three time WWE Divas Champion.

A.J. signed with the WWE in 2009 after a successful indy run and would be assigned to Florida Championship Wrestling, the then developmental territory for the WWE.  Lee would win the “Queen of FCW” and FCW Divas title but would be called up to participate in the third season of NXT, which was an all female season.  With Primo as her “Pro”, A.J. would finish third in the competition and would embark on a tag team with fellow diva, Kaitlyn and would become a fixture on the main roster as the on screen girlfriend of Daniel Bryan.

This would lead to a high profile run where she became “unstable” and worked programs with John Cena, Kane, CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler and would win the first of three Divas Titles, and was regarded by many as the best female wrestler in the WWE.

At the age of 28, this may seem like an abrupt retirement, but the signs were there that Lee would leave the WWE and professional wrestling.  She married CM Punk in real life, who had been burned out by the business and had left the industry fifteen months ago and is now pursuing a career with UFC.  Lee, when accepting the WWE Diva of the year last December, which sounded like a farewell.  She also made headlines when confronting Stephanie McMahon about equal pay on Twitter, when she responded to Patricia Arquette’s equal pay speech on the Academy Awards.  She has also been off a lot this past year mending past injuries.

Lee is only 28 years old and could easily come back and we will hold off on ranking her on the Notinhalloffame.com WWE list, but will create a profile for her on the Futures List.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com wish A.J. the best of luck and look forward to see what she is up to next!




Regular visitors to our website know that we will be launching in 2016 our fourth section which will discuss and rank the North American franchises from the four major leagues (MLB, NHL, NBA  & NFL) and how they honor their past players and contributors. 

With that in mind, it was announced by the New England Patriots Hall of Fame that former player, Houston Antwine has been inducted into their Hall by the Senior Committee. 

Antwine would join the Patriots in 1961 where the Defensive Lineman was an eight round pick out of Southern Illinois.  Antwine would make the All Star team in 1963 and would be chosen as an All Star five more times and would play 142 games for the Patriots.  He would be chosen for the All Time AFL Team. 

Antwine passed away in 2011 and is the second man inducted by the New England Patriots Hall of Fame Senior Committee.  He will be joined by another “regular” finalist, which will be announced on April 16. 

The New England Patriots are easily one of the better organization in North American sports in regards to how they honor their past players.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the family of Houston Antwine for receiving this accolade. 





Ringo Starr told Entertainment Tonight that he will be entering the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because of Paul McCartney.

“They were all surprised that I wasn’t in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and (Paul) talked to somebody and they’re going to put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and he’s going to give me away like I’m the bride and I will accept.

With a little help from my friends, indeed.

Starr will be inducted via the Award of Musical Excellence, and was not one of the nominees last year or any other year. This particular award was designed to not have any specifics as to who would be honored as the Hall states that this award “honors musicians, songwriters and producers who have spent their life creating important and memorable music. Their originality, impact and influence have changed the course of music history.”

With that ambiguity, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame can seemingly induct anyone without any real criteria, and many felt (including us) that the induction of Ringo Starr on his solo work was crowbarred in. This latest comment from Starr, makes it sound like this is done as a favor to McCartney, which had also been speculated on, and again by us.

While Starr did have significant chart success as a solo performer, he is not held in the same regard as the other three Beatles and was not perceived by many to be a snub for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Regardless, we here at Notinhalloffame.com will be watching the Hall of Fame ceremony, even if it is not exactly a dream class in our eyes.
