At the beginning of October, the St. Louis Blues announced a creation of a team hall of fame. Much like their fellow franchise down the road, the Blues have years of players to honor, many of whom have not had the opportunity for further recognition outside of the franchise.
This might lead to the assumption that team halls of fame are just “halls of very good,” but if there’s something that the Blues’ initial class shows, that’s not going to be the case here in year one.
The team included all retired numbers into the hall this year, as well as other notable foundational franchise fixtures:
- Al MacInnis
- Bob Gassoff
- Bob Plager
- Barclay Plager
- Sid Salomon Jr.
