George Jones Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Jones Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL HHOF Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 Pierre Turgeon and Tom Barrasso were teammates in Buffalo, as were Pierre Turgeon and Alexander Mogilny. Buffalo Sabres 1983-1989 - Tom Barrasso 1987-1992 - Pierre Turgeon 1989-1995 - Alexander Mogilny Clearly, Alexander Mogilny fans are being teased this year with the inductions of Barrasso and Turgeon. This is a sign that Alexander Mogilny will be inducted in 2024. I can't believe no one realized this. Also, they had to induct Tom Barrasso and Mike Vernon this year to make up for Henrik Lundqvist not having any Stanley Cup rings. Mike Vernon is also a tease for other Detroit Red Wings - Henrik Zetterberg and Chris Osgood. So Mogilny, Zetterberg, Osgood, and Brind'Amour or Roenick for 2024. Also, this is not the first time the HHOF is inducting 3 goaltenders in the same year. 1945 - Charlie Gardiner, Georges Vezina 1958 - Alec Connell, Hugh Lehman, Paddy Moran 1961 - George Hainsworth, Percy LeSueur, Oliver Seibert 1963 - Riley Hern, John Bower Hutton 1980 - Harry Lumley, Gump Worsley 2020 - Ken Holland, Kim St-Pierre 2023 - Tom Barrasso, Mike Vernon, Henrik Lundqvist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL HHOF Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 The inductions of Pierre Turgeon, Tom Barrasso, Mike Vernon, and Henrik Lundqvist this year really opens the door wide for the next 4 years of induction classes, which will most likely include all of the following... Patrick Marleau, Keith Tkachuk, Pat Verbeek, Jeremy Roenick, Peter Bondra, Rod Brind’Amour, Alexander Mogilny, Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, Patrik Elias, Andy Moog, Esa Tikkanen, Theoren Fleury, Curtis Joseph, Chris Osgood It's going to be awesome!

He attended his 2009 induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame, so there is no reason why he would not attend this one.
