Do you think that Jeremy Roenick should be inducted into the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame?

RGTraynor, Most NHL guides after 1958 are factual incorrect and/or give misleading information. Look for guides prior to 1958 as this is the year that the NHL seized support for the IHHOF to establish their own HHOF You mention in your user page you have some involvment with the Society for International Hockey Research, please check with them, they will confirm this. Right now you could check the International Hockey Hall of Fame’s website http://www.ihhof.com http://www.ihhof.com/about.

Htm there is also some info. One more thing, some NHL guides and books prior to the early 1970's refer to the Toronto based hall of fame as the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame. Postscript: There are 450,000 Google hits for "Hockey Hall of Fame" excluding NHL as a search term.

There are exactly 169 unique hits for "NHL Hockey Hall of Fame", and the second one is Johnny's revision of the IHHOF Wikipedia article. "International Hockey Hall of Fame" has 208 unique hits, and most of the lead ones are of the Wikipedia article and mirrors. With all do respect to everyone, I think it should be identified as either the NHL Hockey Hall of Fame or NHL sponsored Hockey Hall of Fame or even “NHL Hall of Fame” when you google NHL Hall of Fame there is over 29,000 hits.

Comparing this to the Baseball Hall of Fame you will notice it is identified by there correct name The National Baseball Hall of Fame in the wiki article even though almost everyone refers to it as just the baseball hall of fame, it should be no different with the Hockey Hall of Fame. When you google the "Baseball Hall of Fame" there is over 3,200,000 hits, when you google "National Baseball Hall of Fame" there is just over 360,000 hits. Infact it makes more sense to make sure the Hockey Hall of fame is identified correctly (with NHL) because of the controversy with the different Hockey hall of fame’s than the baseball hall of fame where there is no controversy.

First off, the links should end any dispute about Hockey Canada's relationship with the HHOF; I'd just hope that any editors who have a contrary assertion to make on the issue might come with evidence next time out. Secondly, any putative candidacies of particular women players (or whether female players are worthy of induction at all) are of course POV -- although I note that HockeyHistorian had no objection when including his own candidates to the mix. That the induction of female stars is a controversial issue is, however, not POV, when mentioned in the Controversies section, one would think.

Hockey Canada was a sponsor in 1961 (known then as CAHA) but they are no longer a sponsor and has not been from many many years. Please let me know how you justify that the thre recent women hockey players are the "first wave " of women hockey players. Heaney as the far and away best female hockey player of all time being compared to Orr or Gretzky has been the topic of dicussion for years.

Geraldine Heaney will unquestionably be the first female player inducted, its just a matter of time before they do induct a female player. I don't know about Susan Fenell though, I would say she is a long shot at best anytime in the next few years. Maybe if the NWHL becomes more recognizable as a top pro league, it may improve her chances in the builders catagory although she is a long shot.
