As Ontario-born kids, Pat Quinn and Eric Lindros were thrilled to play for the Maple Leafs. And on Monday, the two legends received one of the ultimate honours any hockey figure can hope for: induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Quinn and Lindros join goaltending icon Rogie Vachon and Russian superstar Sergei Makarov as members of the 2016 Hall of Fame Class, which will be celebrated formally this November at the Hall in Toronto. Quinn will be posthumously honoured in the builder’s category, while Lindros, Makarov and Vachon will enter the Hall in the player’s category.
