The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football Hockey and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the first ten of the 2024 Hockey List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 1 to 10:

1. Joe Thornton*
2. Zdeno Chara*
3. Duncan Keith*
4. Alexander Mogilny
5. Patrick Marleau
6. Theoren Fleury
7. Don Cherry
8. John LeClair
9. Claude Provost
10. Mike Richter 

*Denotes First Year of Eligibility

Rankings are impacted annually based on your comments and votes.

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

The continued growth of Notinhalloffame.com continues, as we have added three new names to our 2024 Hockey Futures; the former hockey players who are eligible for the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2024.

The three new names are:

Braydon Coburn:  Coburn was a Defenseman for many years who won a Stanley Cup with Tampa in 2020.

Patrick Marleau:  A San Jose Shark for the bulk of his career, Marleau logged a record 1,779 Games with 1,197 Points.  The Forward went to three All-Star Games, and won two Olympic Gold Medals representing Canada.

Pavel Datsyuk:  Datsyuk played his entire NHL career with the Detroit Red Wings, winning two Stanley Cups, four Lady Byngs and three Frank J. Selke Trophies.

They join:

Carl Gunnarson, David Backes, Jussi Jokinen, Mikko Koivu, Niklas Hjalmarsson, Pekka Rinne, Ryan Miller and Travis Zajac.

The entire 2024 Hockey Eligible Section can be found here.

As always, we thank you for your support!

So…what does longevity mean?

As far as we are concerned, it should matter a lot!

A long time San Jose Shark, Patrick Marleau has been very productive over his career and has gone to three All Star Games. Nearing (as of this writing) the 1,000 point total, Marleau is regarded as a very efficient player, but the question that will be asked once he is Hall of Fame eligible is was he ever considered an elite player?   Many would say that Marleau is in the “Hall of Very Good” and without a major trophy he might struggle to get in unless he stat accumulation is impossible to ignore.
