Last Year, Zander stood alongside Mike Izzy and Flacko Lagerfield as potential HOF candidates but lost out on his chance. This year however the committee rallied behind the North Star Icon to finally give him his just rewards. It is not hyperbole to say that the Toronto organisation owes quite a lot to their all star defender.

A Toronto legend through and through, Zander spent 16 of his 18 season career with the North Stars. Night in and night out, he would prove that he was one of the finest defenseman to ever play the game. Many doubted if he could truly make it in the SHL, saying his style was too unorthodox. They said he didn’t play the game the right way. He played the game the Zander way. His most memorable season was when he broke through the Toronto line up in Season 35, where he put on one of the finest performances by the rookie defenceman in the SHL, winning both the Ryan Jesster award as rookie of the year and winning Toronto’s only Challenge Cup.

You cannot tell the history of hockey in Toronto without Zander and now he stands amongst the hall of fame class as one of the finest defenders to ever play.

Thank you Zander. Your place in the hall is well deserved.
