![]() HOF Committee Hall of Fame Head
Our next inductee is almost the opposite of Lilja; the definition of a journeyman once his long and successful career with his first team was finished, spending his final 6 seasons playing for 5 different teams! An insane 6 All-SHL appearances, more than 1100 blocked shots, and more than 2100 hits are clear indications of a fantastic career, and the committee saw this as well! Please join me in congratulating our next inductee . . .

"6 All-SHL selections (most among any eligible players for the HoF), a couple of Stevens nominations and a win, one of the most consistent performers on the ballot over a long 21-season career, has over 2,000 hits and 1,000 shots blocked over their career and most points among any eligible defensemen with 710. " "The longevity coupled with the fact of being a 6-time All-SHL player and having 3 Stevens noms/wins drives it home + having a physical edge with over 2k hits in their career." "6-time All-SHL and nominated for the Stevens 3 of those seasons (1 Stevens win). He's got 1 cup, over 1200 games played, and over 700 points so he has longevity and success." ![]() HOF Committee Hall of Fame Head
Our final player inductee of the season spent all but the final 2 seasons of his illustrious career with one team, providing a consistent and reliable presence in the net for more than a decade and racking up an impressive trophy case in the process, including some awards you don't typically see for a goalie. Please join me in congratulating our final player of the evening . . .

The nomination for Mexico and the Khan win as a goalie put him over the top." "One of the few goalies in site history to have gotten a Mexico nom and a Khan win while winning the Razov." "3 All-SHL appearances, and 4 award wins to go with it that are all MVP focused. His winning percentage is on par with the average for the current Hall goalies, and he has a significantly high number of shutouts in that time." "How rare is it for a Goalie to get a Mexico Nomination? How about a Razov win? Heck, what about Players MVP? Larson was able to achieve all of this while finishing in 3 All-SHL teams and a near 60% win percentage across his career." ![]() HOF Committee Hall of Fame Head
Our final inductee for the evening is also the only GM on our ballot, so it's no big surprise as to who it is. However, his accomplishments with his tenure are not to be overlooked, starting with a fresh expansion team, and within 10 seasons bringing them to back-to-back Challenge Cup victories, something that had yet to be done in the modern era of the SHL, proving his dedication and skill to building a team that was able to rise to the top and remain competitive. Please join me in congratulating our GM Inductee . . .

"Back-to-back cups are kinda rare and he did it as an expansion GM."
