If the hof is basically the NHL hof, I don't care a whole lot either way, but itseems they like to waffle about their definition at times. You recognize some Europeans but not others, it seems politically motivated but I don't know enough or care enough to lose any sleep on it.
If women are to be included, and I think we suspect they will soon enough, who's the first to go in ? The 1st wave of women stars would have to be regonized 1st, I'd think, so Angela James, France St. Louis ?
I remember my friend's grand father showing me newspaper clippings from the Montreal gazette, highlighting his sisters' accomplishments in hockey. These stories were probably pre WW2, so I guess women's hockey has been around for generations though I doubt anyone cares enough to look at pioneers from that era.Kind of a Canadian League of Their Own.
