Longtime Islanders, Rangers and Devils broadcaster Stan Fischler is finally a Hall of Famer.
USA Hockey announced on Thursday that Fischler, along with Paul Holmgren and Peter McNab, will be inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame as the Class of 2021.
"Stan, Paul and Peter have all had an enormously positive impact on American hockey over the course of many decades," USA Hockey president Mike Trimboli said in a statement. "Their extraordinary contributions to our sport continue today and will be felt for generations to come."
Fischler, 89, a native of Brooklyn, started his NHL career as a publicist for the Rangers in 1954 before transitioning to journalism.
