Chantel, Thanks for the kind words. Your situation was exactly what I saw growing up. Many of my friends liked hockey and would have loved to play. And with...
For what it's worth, my home rinks (sic) in Escondido, California, (home to 0 NHL and 0 minor league teams - Ducks are about 70 miles away) has had a women's...
John.the door may be closed to PLAYERS but not founders.IF the sport grows and is asking it to have a SIGNIFICANT following and niche that is larger than a...
Exactly! Since there are already separate categories, what would it hurt to add one more? Times change. The game has changed. The HHOF needs to change with it....
Chantel my standards are simple. For players.you should be proven to be among the BEST players of your era. That is could you play in a league of the greats...
Morey et al.just a few fine points. You talk about moving away from home as if it was an abuse and uniquely Canadian and endemic to the 6 team league. It is...
Bill, I have no problem whatsoever with giving women a separate section and a separate category in the voting. This, by far, seems the best solution. That...
I, of course, owe a rebuttal. ... uniquely ... The kids ... of them ... That may be true, but only in hockey is this considered OK at 14, 15 or 16. ... and ...
Got to step in here because I sort of agree with Bill. Women's hockey, even in Canada, is not on the type of platform that deserves a Hall of Fame. Maybe...
No doubt that many of you saw today's game, an exciting game if nothing else. The NHL has always tried to shield violence and fighting from mainstream America...
Does anyone have any information on Doug McKay (b. May 28, 1929)? He played one game for Detroit in the 1949-50 Stanley Cup finals. There is no information on...
However, your example of Quebec's politics is a ... Um, wow Morey, I have little idea how to respond here. I rarely accuse people of being Amero-centric but...
... Why is ... It's not a slippery slope to PC Land to recognize differences in people. Just give us something worth recognizing. Women's hockey isn't there...
Actually, I neglected to mention that yours is a line of argument that I think has merit. I do not agree with it mind you - I think the worth of a player,...
... Morey, just to set the record straight I want to make it clear that I never was arguing that we ought have to have women in the HHofF just because...
John, your assertion about calling it a Male Hall of Fame just because the standards are too high for women evokes a simple reaction from me..if we allow women...
Ahhh John but I never said no women in the Hall IF they had their own section for their unique game.I only said none in the GENERAL HALL unless their game...
My rebuttal Morey. On ages of players moving being unique to hockey.it is all very simple, if your town has a top program you stay near home if not you move if...
I enjoyed watching the winter classic on New Year's Day. I hope the NHL will maintain this concept and (hopefully) expand it to new venues? I'd welcome...
I think that, in principle at least, we are all fairly in agreement. No one wants to see a Mark Howe bumped and people seem satisfied with giving women a...
... I know Costas can talk too much, but he did grow up in Commack, Long Island which is where the Long Island Ducks played out of, and his first job was as...
Glad that the Winter Classic was such a hit, and I too enjoyed the game. But, I would not like to see it as a regular event. First, the risk of a player ...
I saw the game for a few minutes and did not catch all the play by play and footage. My comment about the game is the sight lines of using a football stadium...
Maybe I was not clear about what I think regarding shootouts. I would like to see them after every game, ties or not, for an extra point. So every game would...
Actually John I am in agreement. I have no problems with a women's section and we needn't give anyone else one. As I said before THEY play a different ...
I'm not sure how that solves the other perceived "debacle" whereby "every team is in the playoff race." If a team loses in regulation time, it could still...
