Due to inaccuracies in determining eligible players before the Season 67 ballot, ALL players who started their eligibility in Season 66 or before (The last season played must be between S57 - S64) will receive one extra season of eligibility.

This means the S66 1st Season Eligible players will be eligible through S73 instead of S72, and all those who started their eligibility before S67 will be eligible for one extra season, assuming they were still eligible at that time.
The players with an extra season of eligibility have been marked with an asterisk ( * ).

Players with eligibility starting in S67 and after will retain their original 7 seasons of eligibility.

The eligibility years listed will not change aside from allowing 8 seasons of eligibility for the classes before S67.
After the Ceremony for S73, the maximum number of eligible seasons will return to 7.

S71 Eligible GMs:

Muerto - 1st Year

Good evening, and welcome to the Season 71 SHL Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony!

To start tonight, I would like to remind everyone of the voting rules, and some changes that we've made to help accommodate for some mistakes and errors that were made in the past with regards to eligibility and who was on the ballots.

Each member of the committee (10 people in all) nominates 5 retired athletes from the list of eligible players and ranks them 1 through 5, which in turn gives these players points according to their rank (10 points for 1st, 7 for 2nd, 5 for 3rd, 3 for 4th and 1 point for 5th).
Each committee member must also provide a short written piece to back up their choices.
These points are then totaled and all players who receive 35 points or more are selected to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

For GMs, committee members are allowed to place 2 votes, with 1st being 10 points and 2nd being 5, and a GM must receive at least 65 points to be inducted into the Hall of Fame

Additionally, due to inaccuracies in determining eligible players before the Season 67 ballot, ALL players who STARTED their eligibility between Season 59 and Season 66 (The last season played must be between S57 - S64) will receive one (1) extra season of eligibility.

This means the S66 1st Season Eligible players will be eligible through S73 instead of S72, and all those who started their eligibility before S67 will be eligible for one extra season, assuming they were still eligible at that time.
The players with an extra season of eligibility have been marked with an asterisk ( * ) in the eligibility list.

Players with eligibility starting in S67 and after will retain the original seven (7) seasons of eligibility.

The eligibility years listed will not change aside from allowing eight (8) seasons of eligibility for the classes before S67.
After the Ceremony for S73, the maximum number of eligible seasons will return to seven (7).

Before we get to celebrate those who made it, let’s take a chance to recognize those who graced our ballots for the final time this season.
Twelve players were on the ballot for the final time during Season 71 who unfortunately did not garner enough votes to be inducted into the SHL Hall of Fame.

4x John McBride Nominee
3x John McBride Winner



Committee Quotes:

"An impressive 7 All-SHL selections (most among any eligible players for the HoF), 3 McBride wins (more than any other eligible HoFer) and another 4 McBride nominations (7 in total which is more than any other goalie in league history), second most wins in SHL history out of any goaltender with 479, most shutouts (74) and over 1,000 games played throughout one of the most successful goalie careers ever."

"It's quite the no-brainer, possibly the best career for any goalie in the FHM era. The trophy case is just superb and 7 All SHL teams is crazy."

"It is a crime that Harry Carpet never got a cup. A very long 23-season career wherein he packed 7 All-SHL nods, a combined 7 award wins and nominations, and more shutouts than literally every other goalie currently in the Hall. Even if we were to ignore all of this, the rest of his numbers stand shoulder to shoulder with prior inductees and thus make Harry an easy shoo-in."

"Elite goaltender, in the discussion for best at the position of all time"

Committee Quotes:
"Leads my ENTIRE ballot in Award Nomination/Win combinations (2 Wins + 6 Noms), not only has multiple noms for Stevens, but also for Biscuit, and the kicker, has a Mexico nom as well. For a defensive defender, to lead all ballot goers in the above-mentioned along with a Mexico is truly a unicorn of a career"

"Has 6 award nominations with many being for the Bojo (most out of any eligible HoFer) including a Mexico nom which is super rare as a defenseman, and has won a Stevens and Bojo. He also has over 1,250 hits and nearly 2,000 shots blocked and had a decent 0.57 point per game average being a solid two-way defender which is quite impressive for a 13-season career."

"A stalwart defensive defender that managed to get a Mexico nom during their prime."

This concludes the Season 71 Hall of Fame Induction ceremony! Congratulations again to our new inductees!
