This is one of the days that we look forward to every year at Notinhalloffame.com as the Hockey Hall of Fame has announced the Class of 2018. This year’s class includes two former NHL players (Martin Brodeur and Martin St. Louis), a former women’s player (Jayna Hefford), a former Soviet player (Alexander Yakushev) and two builders (Willie O’Ree and Gary Bettman). Let’s take a deeper look at this year’s class. The current NHL Commissioner, Gary Bettman was chosen.

As always, we here at Notinhalloffame.com continue to update our existing lists. As we slowly put together our Top 50 all-time players for every major team we constantly continue to update our existing ones.

The first is that since our last revision in two and a half years ago, we have relaxed the dependence on advanced statistic and put a higher reward on individual seasons. We think this allows for…

Terrell Owens has really made himself the centerpiece of this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony hasn’t he? This is a pretty impressive accomplishment considering that he won’t even be there. Today, TMZ showed Owens speaking about the honor of being a Hall of Famer to the Boys and Girls Club in Los Angeles. This has certainly raised some eyebrows as people have wondered why he would say it such a great honor when he is skipping the ceremony, though it again should be reiterated that he never said anything about it not be…just that he will celebrate in…

Owens had this to say: “While I am incredibly appreciative of this opportunity, I have made the decision to publicly decline my invitation to attend the induction…

Here are the five new members of the Class of 2018: Don Garber: This is one of those rare cases where you can argue that an administrator is the headliner for a sporting hall of fame.
