Committee Quotes:
“Eero Makela was one of the most dominant defensive defensemen in league history, with blocked shots and Biscuits by the bucket full. Add in a Stevens win and another two nominations and Makela stands out as an elite defensive presence for a decade on the Calgary blueline.”

“Won 3 Bojos and a Stevens, having more awards won (4) than any other eligible skater, has over 2,000 career shots blocked which was all compiled in a short 10 career season being the strongest defensive defenseman on this ballot.”

“One of the best defensive defensemen to play the game, and the only one eligible to win both the Bojo and the Stevens. I don't think people appreciate how much of an accomplishment that is to do, and he won the Bojo three times with an additional nom, and the Stevens once with two more nominations. While his career was short, it was a display of excellence pretty much every season.”

“Eero is easily the most decorated eligible skater on the ballot, with 3 nominations on top of his 4 wins (three Bojos, one Stevens) in ten short seasons. Though he never managed a cup, Makela racked up well over 2000 blocks, excelled on the PK, and had an impressive TA/GA ratio that's well over the HoF average.”
