Mark Recchi is a Hockey Hall of Famer. Finally.
The ex-Flyer was one of seven named to the 2017 Hall of Fame class Monday. The others: Teemu Selanne, Paul Kariya, Dave Andreychuk, Danielle Goyette (women’s hockey), and builders Clare Drake and Jeremy Jacobs. The induction ceremonies will take place Nov. 13 in Toronto.
Recchi, a winger, was rejected three times despite being 12th on the NHL’s all-time scoring list with 1,533 points, collected in 1,652 career games. He had 627 points (232 goals, 395 assists) in 602 games with the Flyers, placing him eighth on the team’s all-time scoring list.
