How about Taffy Abel as a HHOF Builder? (Has better Hockey Credentials than HHOF Herb Carnegie) AND To make up for the HHOF passing him over for many years ... throw in a NHL Lester Patrick Trophy to show the love for Indigenous Hockey Players. December 1947: Members of the New York Rangers hockey team gather to honor Lester Patrick, who was their first manager, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. From left to right: Bun Cook, Ching Johnson, Bill Cook, Patrick Lester, Taffy Abel and Frank Boucher.

Taffy Abel was "The First" Native American in 'The First" USHHOF Class in 1973. Taffy Abel was "The First" Native American in the Winter Olympics (1924 Silver Medal) Taffy Abel was "The First" Native American in the NHL (1926 NYR) Taffy Abel was "The First BIPOC" NHL Player to break the NHL Color Barrier (11-16-1926 NYR) Taffy Abel was "The First" Native American to win a Stanley Cup (1928 NYR) Taffy Abel was "The First" Native American to have a 4000+ seat Hockey Stadium named in his honor So, why do you think that Taffy Abel has not been inducted into the HHOF? Willie O'Ree did not break the NHL Color Barrier in 1958 despite what Gary Bettman has said in getting Willie and himself in the HHOF and then falsely getting Willie a US Congressional Gold Medal in 2022 for supposedly breaking the NHL Color Barrier in 1958 (some 32 years after Taffy Abel) More at www.TaffyAbel.com
