Martin St. Louis, the first Lightning player to have his jersey retired and a central part of the team's Stanley Cup championship in 2004, is now headed to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
"It's an honor," St. Louis said Tuesday in a conference call with the four players and two builders in this year's class, who will be inducted Nov. 12 in Toronto. "For me to join the great players who are in now is unbelievable. I'm very thankful to the committee to value my impact on he game so much to make me a first-ballot inductee. It's an honor for me and my family.
