Charles Hay

A decent amateur hockey player in his own right (he was an Allen Cup Finalist in 1921) Charles Hay entered the Hockey Hall of Fame as an honored builder. Hay helped to form Hockey Canada; which helped coordinate the best minds of hockey to help grow the Canadian team internationally. Hay would also help with the rough negotiations with the Soviet Union’s Hockey organization that brought the 1972 Summit Series to life, which is probably the biggest reason that he got elected to the Hall.

Carl Voss

Carl Voss played eight seasons in the National Hockey League, though his career on the ice was nothing that would be considered Hall of Fame Worthy.

Billy Burch

American born, yet Canadian raised, Billy Burch was the second ever Hart Trophy winner and the second ever (though in the third year of its existence as Frank Nighbor won the first two) Lady Byng Trophy winner. Burch would become a consistent producer, primarily for the New York Americans where they marketed to the hilt his American birth certificate. However, as Burch never won a Stanley Cup (or even sniffed it), his delay to the Hockey Hall of Fame was understandable as he played in a National Hockey League where there were only a handful of teams.

Art Coulter

Incredibly durable and freakishly strong, Art Coulter was a physical presence on two Stanley Cup Championship teams. Coulter was adept at both ends of the ice, could mix it up when needed (he led the NHL in Penalty Minutes in one season) and on four occasions was a Second Team All Star. Coulter was the captain when the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup in 1940.
