Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB. Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives. As such, it is important to us that the St. Louis Blues have announced the formation of their franchise Hall of Fame.
It is a long time coming, as the team has been in existence since 1967, and they won their first Stanley Cup in 2019.
Immediately, the team has selected ten members of the Hall, comprising of eight players (all of whom who had their numbers retired by the team) and two other contributors.
Automatically inducted will be:
Bernie Federko
Bob Gassoff
Brett Hull
Dan Kelly
Al MacInnis
Barclay Plager
Bob Plager
Chris Pronger
Sid Solomon
Brian Sutter
In addition, the Blues are holding a fan vote which will help sway consideration for the other members of the first Blues Hall of Fame Class
Those who are on the fan ballot are:
Al Arbour
David Backes
Wayne Babych
Red Berenson
Scotty Bowman
Pavol Demitra
Glenn Hall
Barret Jackman
Curtis Joseph
Mike Liut
Adam Oates
Alexander Steen
Garry Unger
Keith Tkachuk
Pierre Turgeon
The inaugural class will be announced on October 15 during their home opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the first names announced to the Blues Hall of Fame, and the organization in general for taking this step.
