SHL GM Brennan Lee Mulligan Stan
Alex Light.
It's Alex Light. 32nd in career points, (726), 22nd in goals (331), played for 18 seasons, three time Challenge Cup champion (S41, S43, S47) with West Kendall. This feels like a no brainer to me. The only players ahead of him in career points who aren't in the Hall of Fame already are either (A) currently ineligible due to playing recently (Joe Kurczewski, Mike Izzy, Sophia Bennett, Robert Phelps) or (b) are Light's longtime teammate, Trevor Wilson (753 points). Of the ineligible players, Kurczewski, Izzy, and Phelps are likely locks at some point for the Hall of Fame. The one knock someone might give is that he has no individual award hardware to his name (and was only a finalist for an award--the Razov--once), but with how fickle SHL Awards tend to be, I won't hold that against him. He was a productive player for 18 long seasons, and has earned his spot. Just vote him in. Do it. If you don't, Zoone will never let us hear the end of it. Actually, we won't hear the end of how great Alex Light was from Zoone regardless, so maybe it doesn't matter. |
