Teemu Selanne considered a lock for Hockey Hall Of Fame

Many people complain about the traffic snarl in the Hockey Hall Of Fame’s veteran player parking lot.

But only a few can do something to untangle it, only once a year and only after any deserving first-year eligibles are taken care of. That opportunity to clear a backlogged name or two comes Monday in Toronto when the 18-member Hall selection committee gathers.

While they can accept suggestions from hockey brethren or receive entreaties from the public throughout the calendar year, only a committee member can put a name forward and then make a case for the 75% vote needed for induction among peers.
