Sergei Zubov has deserved to be in the Hall of Fame for a number of years. For the New York Rangers, he was a high scoring defenseman who had a long career after the team made the mistake of trading him.
Zubov was elected with five others at the annual meeting of the Selection Committee in Toronto. He will be joined by Jim Rutherford and Jerry York in the Builder category and Guy Carbonneau, Hayley Wickenheiser and Vaclav Nedomansky in the Player category. Nedomansky is also an ex-Ranger as he finished his career with the Blueshirts in 1983.
