Committee Quotes: “Has 4 All-SHL team nominations, which is the most out of any eligible goalie, has 5 awards won (3 Honchos and 2 Razov) which is most out of any eligible HoFer. Has the most shutouts out of any eligible goalie with 53, has the best save percentage at .910 and a couple of cups and additional award nominations.”
“4 All-SHL noms is outstanding, and 5 award wins is almost unheard of. Didn't win a McBride, but two nominations is also very good, and he hit the 350 win milestone, which for me is the threshold for long-term impact in net”
“Two playoff MVP wins in two cup victories makes him a major part of the league's history on top of a highly decorated goaltender. Also a three-time Honcho winner to go along with 4 All-SHL awards and a stats profile that make him a worthy addition to the Hall of Fame.”
“2 Razovs, 3 Honchos, and two McBride nominations. Cillian Kavanagh was an era-defining player for the Texas Renegades following a trade from the San Francisco Pride. You can't ask for more from a goaltender.”
“Kavanagh has 4 All-SHL appearances, a whopping FIVE award wins with two additional nominations, and extensive playoff experience where he truly shined. His winning percentage, GAA, and SOs in the postseason would all be among the highest in the Hall.”
