New Hockey Hall of Fame inductees

Ed Belfour, Doug Gilmour, Mark Howe and Joe Nieuwendyk were inducted by the Hockey Hall of Fame on Tuesday. The four former players will be inaugurated into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, on November 11th.

Belfour was a top flight goaltender for fourteen seasons, and gained admittance in his first year of eligibility. Nieuwendyk scored 192 goals in his first four seasons , ranking among the best over that span to start a career.

Howe actually joined his father into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Gordie Howe, now eighty three was inducted in 1972. Gilmour won a Stanley Cup with the Flames in 1989, scoring sixty goals during playoffs games.

The committee did not induct anyone in the builder or the women’s category.
